Everyone plays at once. No turns, no waiting. Four hands race to dump their cards into a shared middle. Spot an opening, take it before someone else does, and keep your pile shrinking. Hesitate and the space is gone. FAST, HONEST OPPONENTS Play against one, two or three rivals across four speeds, from Relaxed to Sharp. They react in real time, make real mistakes, and get faster as you do. Nobody waits their turn. A SEASON TO CLIMB Every game earns season points on a ladder from Novice through Apprentice, Contender, Expert and Master to Elite. Keep a daily streak going, chase 21 trophies, and watch your place on the leaderboard move. TOURNAMENTS Three rounds against a full field: an opening round to 30, a semi-final to 50, and a final to 75 with the difficulty rising at every stage. Only the top players advance. A HIDDEN SECOND GAME Reach Contender and the Royal Game of Ur unlocks: a 4,500-year-old board game of dice, captures and safe squares, with its own tutorial. Once earned it stays unlocked, even after a season resets. LEARN IT PROPERLY An eight-chapter interactive tutorial walks through the whole game at your own pace, with a worked example of how scoring actually decides a round. Rewind, pause, or skip ahead whenever you like. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU No ads. No account. No sign-up. Works completely offline. Your progress syncs through iCloud and can be exported as a backup code you keep yourself. Choose how long a game lasts: play to 30 points for something quick, or to 150 for a long evening.
