Move over Solitaire, there's a new king of card games! King’s Corner, or Kings in the Corner, is a great game for all ages—easy to pick up and endlessly entertaining. Play on your own with an AI that’s as challenging as you like: one to three opponents can miss moves while you’re still learning and be laser-accurate once you’ve mastered the game. Play with friends online via Game Center or in-person with our pass & play mode that’s all the fun with none of the shuffling and dealing. King’s Corner 4 is a universal purchase for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and has been fully optimized for the latest OS versions. As always, it's fully compatible with VoiceOver so players with limited or no vision are welcome. Here’s how the game works: King's Corner uses the same basic rules as games like Solitaire—cards are placed in descending order and in alternating colors. A red 9 can be played on a black 10, or a black ace can be placed on a red 2. The deck is set up with 8 spaces around the deck; four king spaces (marked with a crown) and four unmarked spaces. You'll get a new card at the beginning of every turn, and the goal of the game is to get rid of your cards first by making as many of the following types of moves as possible: • Add a card to any existing stack • Move a card or stack in one unmarked space to the bottom of any other card or stack. King stacks don't move, since there's nothing higher than a King. • Start a new stack if there's an empty space on the table. Only kings can start the corner stacks, but any other card can start a stack in one of the four unmarked spots.

Seven opponents. One table. No mercy. Hostile Hold-Em is a no-nonsense Texas Hold'Em poker experience built for players who want a real challenge. Forget passive bots that fold at the first sign of pressure — your opponents have personalities, and they use them. The Table Eight seats fill a classic felt oval. Your seven opponents each play a distinct style: tight-aggressive sharks who only enter pots they intend to win, loose cannons who fire on every street, rocks who wait for premiums and punish you for slowplaying, calling stations who never seem to fold, a full-blown maniac who raises almost any hand, and Sable — a trapper who checks big hands and waits for you to walk into them. Know When You're Beat When you lose at showdown, you'll see exactly what beat you — your opponent's hole cards revealed with their winning hand named. No mystery, no excuses. Features 7 AI opponents with distinct, consistent personalities Full Texas Hold'Em rules — blinds, raises, all-ins, side pots Monte Carlo win percentage odds toggle Save and resume any game Portrait and landscape support Showdown hand reveal with full rankings Victory screen when you bust the table Win Percentage Toggle odds mode to see your real-time Monte Carlo win probability — calculated across hundreds of simulated runouts — so you always know where you stand.
