Read full descriptionHide full description
Tycoon is Daifugo, the Japanese card game the rest of the world knows as President or Scum. Empty your hand first to become the Tycoon; finish last and you are the Beggar. Then the cards change hands and the next round begins. PLAY ANYWHERE • Offline against CPU opponents at five levels, from Beginner to Expert • Online with friends: open a room and share a 4-character code • Random match to sit down with players around the world • Empty seats are filled by CPU, so a game always starts YOUR RULES Daifugo is played differently in every region, so nearly every rule is a switch: • 8-Stop, Eleven Back, 9-Reverse, 5-Skip, 7-Gift, 10-Discard, Spade 3 • Revolution and Counter-Revolution • Sequences (runs) and Sequence Revolution • Suit Lock and Fall from Grace • Banned finishes: joker, 2, 8, spade 3, sequence, revolution • Card trade between rounds, 0-2 jokers, 3-5 players MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Swipe up to play. Only the cards you can actually use stay lit • Full-screen animations for Revolution, 8-Stop and other special cards • Sound and haptics, both easy to turn off • A points ladder: knock a CPU out and a stronger one takes the seat NO ADS No ads, no in-app purchases, no sign-up.
