It’s not a card game. It’s every card game. The Card Table gives you a virtual deck of cards so you can play any of your favorite card games. You are in charge of the rules, such as how many cards to deal, how to keep score, and how to take turns. If you know how to play a game with a physical deck of cards, you can play it with The Card Table—without needing to shuffle! An iPad or Mac becomes your card table, players keep their hands on their iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iPod touch, and you “pass” cards between devices. Players’ devices connect to the iPad via Bluetooth and/or Wifi. The magic is in the direct communication between devices. When you pass a card it doesn’t go through a server—it goes directly from one device to the next! Now you can easily play your favorite games on road trips or airplanes. *** At least one iPad or Mac and another iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with at least iOS 13 or a Mac with at least macOS 10.15.5 required***
Double Solitaire Battle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Race for the foundations. Don't just clear them. Double Solitaire Battle is Klondike solitaire with somebody on the other side of the table - a speed card game where every second counts. The eight foundations are SHARED, and your rival is building on them at the same time you are. Every ace you don't play is an ace they will. Every second you spend thinking is a card you lose. It is the same classic deck you already know. It is not the same game. THE CLIMB Twelve rivals, from Pip to the Ace. Each one has a name and a way of playing, and each one is harder than the last - faster off the mark, quicker to the foundation, and far more willing to take the pile you were saving. Beat all three rivals in a tier and you take the rank: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Crown. There is no luck in it and nothing to buy your way past. The rank is yours because you beat the rivals below it. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY - The Climb - twelve ranked rivals, one duel at a time - Classic - a quick race at the difficulty and draw you choose (Draw 1 or Draw 3) - Timed - two minutes on the clock, no mercy - Daily Challenge - one deal a day, the same cards for every player - Pass & Play - two players, one phone: hand it over and find out who really is faster ARM A BOOST Stuck on a rival? Spend your Crowns before the deal. Extra hints when you cannot see the move. Extra undos when you take it back. Or a head start, while they sit there and think about it. Your call, every single match - and never a gamble. You pay, you get exactly what it says. SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY - Daily missions: three fresh goals each day, each one paying Crowns - A seven-day rewards calendar that pays the moment you open the app - A day streak worth protecting, and a way to save it when life gets in the way - The Daily Challenge, with its own leaderboard A NEW SEASON EVERY TWO WEEKS Everything you already do earns season XP. Climb ten tiers for Crowns on the free track, or unlock the pass for extra Crowns and an exclusive card back at the top. COLLECT THE DECK Card faces, tables and card backs, earned with Crowns you win at the table. Today's picks rotate: three a day out of everything you don't own yet, so there is always something new on the shelf - plus seasonal tables that only come round once a year. Your collection count shows how close you are to owning it all. WHERE YOU STAND Four global leaderboards - total wins, best streak, timed high score and daily wins - plus thirty achievements, so the climb doesn't stop at the top of the ladder. A casual card game you can play in one hand, on the bus, in a queue, in a couple of minutes. No account needed. Free to play. Optional purchases: Remove Ads, Ad-Free + Offline (no ads of any kind, and play without a connection), Crown packs, and the season pass. An internet connection is needed to play unless you own Ad-Free + Offline. Brownaro Studios
