About

Sunn

Read 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.
