### 3.5 — 2026-08-15

Pass and Play, for real this time
Four players, one device. Every seat gets its own hand, and a privacy
shield covers the screen between turns so nobody peeks.

Nil and Blind Nil now score
Make your Nil for 100 points. Blind Nil doubles it to 200, with the
matching penalty if you take a book.

Jokers at the cookout table
Cookout Classic and NYC house rules now deal the Big Joker and Little
Joker. The two of hearts and two of clubs come out of the pack, and the
jokers top everything.

Play by your house rules
- Rules presets: Cookout Classic, Chicago, NYC, Table Talk, or Standard

  Custom Points

  is saying
