## What is Vinto!?

Vinto! is a card game of memory and bluff for a table of four. Play solo against three computer opponents, or online with people you know.

You get five cards face down, and you may look at two of them once. The rest is deduction: what other people draw, what they throw away, and what they are suddenly willing to risk.

On your turn, draw from the deck, or take an unused action card from the discard pile. Swap it into your hand, use its action, or throw it away. Then anybody holding a card of the same rank may throw theirs in, and a round can turn in a second.

Call Vinto when you think your hand is the lowest. Everybody else gets one more turn as a team, and the lowest of their hands is set against yours. Be right and it pays; be wrong and it costs you.

Rounds are short: the kind that get played four times because the first one ended in an argument.

Cards 2 to 10 count their number, Jacks and Queens count 10, and an Ace counts 1. A King counts nothing, and a Joker takes one off your total. A hand you cannot see is a hand you cannot price, and that is the whole problem.

Eight of the fourteen ranks have an action. A 7 or 8 lets you look at one of your own cards, and a 9 or 10 at somebody else's. A Jack swaps two cards blind, and a Queen shows you two before you decide whether to swap them.

An Ace makes another player draw a penalty card. A King names any card on the table, and if the name is right, you play that card's action. Knowing when not to spend an action is most of the skill.

The three computer opponents look ahead through possible moves instead of following a script. You can set them to Easy, Moderate or Hard. Solo play works fully offline.

The lesson under How to play deals a real round and talks you through your own hand as it goes. You can skip it, and the ? button explains every card at any point in a game.

For multiplayer, open a room and send its six-character code. Whoever has the code takes a seat, and bots fill the seats nobody takes. Nobody needs an account, and a friend without the app can play in a web browser.

A room can be private, by code only, or listed for anyone to join. Player names come from a fixed list, and there is no text box anywhere in the app.

Light and dark themes are both checked for contrast, and nothing at the table is told apart by color alone. Motion can be reduced, the pace can be set from Calm to Brisk, and every button has a label for screen readers.

The app is free, and nothing in it is locked. There are no ads. An optional tip in Settings goes to the developer and adds nothing to the game.

The app keeps anonymous counts of how rounds are played, without any names. You can switch the counting off in Settings.

Vinto! is a card game designed and published by other people, at vinto.game. This is an unofficial app for playing it.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-06

With VoiceOver, a turned card now says which card it is. Buttons and switches have clearer names for VoiceOver and Voice Control. Text now grows with the largest text sizes in iOS Settings, and labels shrink to fit before they are cut off. When Reduce Motion is on, more of Vinto's animations stay still. The marks and rings under Rules now stand out more from the background, in both themes.

The clock and battery at the top of the screen now follow the light or dark theme. Vinto's sounds no longer stop the music playing in another app. After an install or an iOS update, the first screen now prepares its graphics in the background. Some text in the app is shorter and clearer.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-30

The table now feels at home on every screen. On an iPad it spreads out, and the cards grow with it.

Big hands stay tidy, long names fit, and the online lobby fits on one screen.

And a fresh launch screen to greet you.

Thank you for playing!

### 1.1 — 2026-09-26

The final round can be played as a team. Once somebody calls Vinto, the three against them can read and build a plan together — a sentence a turn, about cards somebody has actually seen. It is table talk, not an order: whoever is on play still picks up their own cards.

Your opponents have names. Gale, Ember, Tide and Dune keep the same seats, each named for the mark on its portrait, and they now throw in a card a teammate has named.

An invitation carries a code to scan, and it asks before it takes a seat.

A card you tap starts moving at once, and a busy control says so instead of ignoring you. Press the deck to see how much of it is left. A hand that grows past five cards gets smaller cards and a second row, so nothing runs off the table.

When somebody steps away a bot covers their seat, and the table is told. Your fifteen seconds no longer run down while the bots play.

Rules: a card thrown in before a Vinto call is still played, and the caller's own throw plays before the final round begins. A card won with a King is played rather than thrown away.

Thank you for playing.
