## What is Skitgubbe?

Skitgubbe is the classic Swedish card game – now in a fast, beautiful and genuinely fun app. Play friends online or challenge smart bots whenever you have five minutes to spare.

TWO DISTINCT PHASES

1. The Gather Phase
Play cards to win tricks and build the best possible hand. If someone leads an eight, you must play an eight if you have one – rank obligation applies. Every card you take home now becomes ammunition for phase two. The last card in the deck decides the trump suit.

2. The Play Phase
Now it gets real. Use the hand you gathered and get rid of every card you hold. You have to beat the card on the table – higher in the same suit, or trump. The last player still holding cards is the Skitgubbe.

WHAT YOU GET

• Online multiplayer – invite friends or get matched with other players
• Single player – three difficulty levels of bots that actually play well
• 2–3 players – with two players a half deck of 26 cards is used
• Decks to unlock – earn coins by playing, or buy them in the shop
• Achievements and Game Center – track your stats and chase the records
• Friends list – see who is online and start a match instantly
• Daily rewards and events
• English and Swedish – including a built-in rules guide

NO NASTY SURPRISES
No forced ads in the middle of a match. Want extra coins? Watch a rewarded ad if you feel like it – otherwise you never see one.

THE RULES ARE IN THE APP
Never played Skitgubbe before? The onboarding walks you through everything step by step, and the rules page is always one tap away.

Download, gather your friends, and prove you are not the Skitgubbe.
