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.

About

Baloot Majlis

Features
Read full description

Baloot Majlis is single-player Baloot with an idea no one has tried: your partner is a falcon that learns YOUR style of play and grows with you. You and your falcon face two AI opponents in authentic Gulf Baloot — two-round bidding (Hokum or Sun, with a free second round if everyone passes), the Jack and the Nine ruling the trump suit, projects (Mashari'), Qahr, and the race to 152. The Grand Journey — 66 stations across six milestone chapters with full Arabic dialogue. As you progress, your falcon visibly evolves: from a hooded chick, to a grown hunter, to a crowned champion — unlocking new harmony abilities on the way to the final showdown. The more you play together, the deeper the harmony — until the falcon places exactly the card you were hoping for, before you say a word. • Authentic Baloot: two-round bidding, Qahr, J=20 and 9=14 in trump, the Baloot project, first to 152 • A falcon companion that reads your play and evolves as your bond deepens • Smart opponents that count cards, infer voids, and plan the whole round • Detailed round summaries: captures, projects, last trick, and Qahr — see exactly where every point came from • A warm 3D majlis table in gold and green • Full settings: sound, haptics, game speed, card backs • Offline · no accounts · no ads · collects no data One purchase, the whole game. Note: the game's interface is in Arabic.
