ComboCards is an engaging mobile application that presents a 4x4 grid of randomly arranged playing cards, ranging from 2 to Ace. The objective is to create winning combinations of cards, similar to poker, by swiping your finger across the screen to move from one card to another. The available winning combinations include pairs, two pairs, three of a kind, a full house, four of a kind, straight, flush, and royal flush, each scoring points accordingly. Cards of the same suit are turned face down, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. To reshuffle the cards and create new opportunities for winning combinations, users can press the SHUFFLE button. It's a game of skill and luck, requiring strategic thinking and quick decision-making as you aim to achieve the highest score possible. By tapping on a face-down card, a new card is revealed, and this process continues until all cards are depleted. Be cautious, though—each time a new card is added, two points are deducted from your score. The application keeps track of the highest score globally, creating a competitive environment for players to strive for the top position. Enjoy the challenge of ComboCards, where a blend of strategy and chance keeps players entertained and coming back for more!

Nine classic Patience games in one app. No ads, no coins, no energy mechanics — just cards, clear rules, and a quiet moment to yourself. From the well-known German Patience to the demanding Russian Solitaire, Abendpatience brings together the true classics of card-laying. Including the rare variants you won't find in the big solitaire apps. Whether you're unwinding after work, on the train, or right before bed: Abendpatience is the quiet companion for anyone who genuinely loves Patience. FREE TO PLAY German Patience — the classic almost everyone grew up with. Play with 52 or 32 cards. Easy to learn, endlessly replayable. Little Harp — one deck, seven columns in a triangle, four foundations. The perfect second game when you've got a few minutes. WITH ABENDPATIENCE PRO Russian Patience — two Skat decks, 64 cards, all dealt face-up. Only the outermost card of each row is playable. Strict rules, no drawing. Russian Solitaire — all cards visible, groups move freely. Demanding, but deeply satisfying when everything falls into place. Forty Thieves — two decks, ten columns, one goal. Every decision counts. The Harp — the bigger sister of Little Harp: two decks, ten piles, eight foundations. King's Patience — all four Kings as foundations, twelve helper slots, draw three at a time. A classic two-deck game with its own distinctive rhythm. Grand Patience — all 104 cards dealt face-up from the very first move. No drawing, no luck — just planning. Napoleon Patience — cards follow a doubling rule rather than suit or sequence. An unusual game that keeps surprising you.
