Sunn
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sunn is a streamlined, focused card game built around two classic Khaleeji Baloot contracts: Sun (صن) and Ashkal (أشكل). No Hokom, no long bidding cycles — just one quick buying round, then straight to the cards. SIMPLE, SHARP, FAST • First team to 52 points wins the game. • Best-of-3 games wins the match. • One buying round per deal — Sun, Ashkal, or Pass. • If everyone passes, Waraq (ورق) — fresh deal, dealer rotates. THE DOUBLE (دبل) CHALLENGE During the first trick only, the opposing team can call دبل and double the round's stakes. Winner takes all — ×2. No need to pass if you don't want to double; it's an opt-in power move. SMART OPPONENTS • Three AI partners and opponents, each with tunable aggression and personality. • Bots evaluate buy, double, and play decisions with the same strategy engine across thousands of situations — they'll punish sloppy play. DESIGNED FOR CLARITY • Clean, light theme built around a warm ivory table. • Buyer's info box glows with a "صن" or "أشكل" tag the whole round. • Doubler's box glows red — you always know who's under pressure. • Round / Game / Match overlays show the delta, running totals, and match standing at a glance. Green = winner only; no red-vs-green team confusion. OFFLINE-FIRST • No account, no login, no internet required to play. • Game stats and preferences stored locally on your device. • Arabic and English, with Cairo-family typography throughout. CALM SOUNDSCAPE All sounds (deal, flip, play, trick win, shuffle) are hand-crafted low-frequency tones — gentle, unobtrusive, and mute-able in one tap. If you grew up on Baloot but want the core of Sun without the ritual of bidding rounds, Hokom, and Gahwa, Sunn is for you.

Verdict
Baloot and Sunn are too close to call on the numbers: across 3 compared parameters — price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
