Play a card. Watch four rows fill. Try not to be the one who takes them. Stardrops is a quick card game about avoiding stars. Everyone plays a card at the same time, the cards land in number order across four rows, and whoever completes a row picks it up - along with every star on it. Ten rounds later, the player holding the fewest stars wins. The rules take a minute to learn. Knowing which card to play takes longer. SOLO Four AI opponents at three difficulty levels. No connection needed - the whole game runs offline. LOCAL MULTIPLAYER Three to five players on the same WiFi. One player hosts and gets a join code, everyone else types it in. The devices talk directly to each other: no servers, no accounts, no sign-up. Your record is kept per difficulty, so you can watch the hard column move. Playable in English, Spanish, and Korean. No ads, no in-app purchases, and no data leaves your phone.
