## What is Spadinha?

Spadinha brings a Cape Verdean trick-taking card game to iPhone. Read the table, choose your trick prediction and try to take exactly that many across five rounds.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Face three opponents with distinct styles in a complete Solo mode that works offline.
• Create or join a private room to play online with friends.
• Resume interrupted matches and follow the visible multiplayer timer.

A TABLE THAT FEELS ALIVE
Cards are dealt, played and collected on the table while expressive 2D characters react to each move. Every arena combines its own setting, wooden table, lighting and music. Signature moments mark a trump cut, a new round and Lagadjida.

MASTER THE RULES
Trump rotates during the match. It starts closed: you cannot lead a trick with trump until someone has cut with it, unless your hand contains only trump cards. Your goal is to take exactly the number of tricks you called. Clear visual guidance highlights the cards you can play without making the decision for you.

BUILD YOUR COLLECTION
Choose from 13 characters and personalise the table with arenas, card backs and reactions. Unlock items through play, equip four reactions and listen to available tracks in Spadinha Radio.

The base game is free and complete. In-app purchases are cosmetic, permanent and restorable; they never change the cards, rules or probabilities. Spadinha involves no real money or monetary prizes.

Available in Portuguese and English.
