Tamalou is a quick card game of memory and nerve, where the LOWEST score wins. You get four cards, face down. You see two of them for five seconds. After that, you play from memory. HOW A GAME GOES • Draw a card. Swap it with one of yours, or throw it away. • Aim low. An Ace is 1 point, a 10 is worth 0, and Jacks, Queens and Kings cost you 10 each. • Face cards have powers. Jack: play again. Queen: swap a card with an opponent. King: peek at one of your own cards. • Double! Same rank as the card on top of the discard pile? Throw yours on it, at any moment, even when it is not your turn. Wrong card? You draw a penalty. • Think your cards add up to 5 points or less? Call TAMALOU! Everyone else gets one last turn, then the cards are revealed. A game lasts 5 to 10 minutes.

Join whenever you like and play as many games as you want: a win is worth 2 points, a second place 1, and after two wins in a row every game counts double. • The format changes every hour: FFA 4, 1v1, FFA 3, FFA 5. The top three of each tournament win a medal. • Tournament games count for your Elo. • New Millie mode, at some hours: the Queen swaps two other players' cards, the King looks at anyone's card, and the Jack lets you play again or skip the next player. • Lightning mode: turns half as long. And at Christmas, Halloween and Easter, tournaments with four cards of the season. • Berserk, like on Lichess: halve your time at the start of a tournament game, and a win scores one point more. ### 2.0.6 — 2026-11-02 What's new in 2.0.6 • The daily deal: the same deal for everybody, one try a day. Compare your result with your friends and keep your streak going. • New to Tamalou? In your first games, a bubble shows what to do at each step of your turn, and your first double is explained before it is thrown. • Groups: when the leader starts a game, ranked included, everyone answers "Ready". The game starts once everybody is ready, and you always play together. • Friends: follow players, no request to accept. Home shows how many of your friends are online, and you can watch their games. • My games: your games of the last 30 days, with the ranking of each one. • Watch a game again move by move, every card face up, paused or faster. • A window tells you when a new version is out, with what's new. • Lists scroll like the rest of your phone: stop them with a finger and flick again at once. • Fix: the end-of-game screen shows in full when you turn your phone. ### 2.0.4 — 2026-10-29 What's new in 2.0.4 • Play nearby, without internet: the people next to you join your table over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, even in airplane mode. • Groups: invite a friend from their player card, and the group leader seats the whole group at one table. • House rules for private tables and nearby games, and seasonal cards while a season is on. • Music, and the game can turn with your phone. • Player safety: report or block a player from their card, and a filter on player names. • Sound settings: the main volume, the music and the sound effects each have their own slider. • Paste into a text field: hold your finger on it, then tap Paste. • Many fixes for smoother games. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-28 No release notes. ## More apps by CHARLES-ANDRE Assus - [Makhos - Thai Checkers](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/makhos-thai-checkers/id6756097411) - [Cleemo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cleemo/id6772703673) - [Quizy: Fruit Quiz](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quizy-fruit-quiz/id6788058385) - [Evo Hub](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/evo-hub/id6815275200) All apps by CHARLES-ANDRE Assus: https://appshunter.io/developer/1846708216 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
