About

Endplay

Read full description

Endplay is a daily logic puzzle in the style of trick-taking card games. You play one hand of numbered, colored chips. The other players follow fixed rules, printed on screen, so nothing is hidden and nothing is random. That is the whole idea: you can see every hand, you know exactly what everyone else will do, and there is always a way through. Finding it is the puzzle. ONE A DAY A new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone. Monday is gentle and the week gets harder, so whatever kind of solver you are, there is a day that fits. The last two weeks are always there if you miss one. MEET THE OTHER PLAYERS Minnie plays her lowest number. Max plays his highest. Victor wins the trick whenever he can. Their rules never change, and they are always shown on screen. Work out what they will do, and the rest follows. WHAT YOU ARE AIMING FOR Each puzzle sets a goal for one or more of the players, you included: win a trick with a certain shape, avoid winning one with a certain number, take exactly two tricks. Meet every goal and the puzzle is solved. NO PRESSURE, EVER No time limit. No streaks to break. No failure state, no lives, no energy to wait for. Undo as much as you like, restart whenever you want, and take a hint if you are stuck. Your place is kept if you put it down and come back tomorrow. NEW HERE? A short tutorial teaches the rules by playing them: an introduction and seven lessons, each small enough that the idea is hard to miss. If you would rather read, the full rules are one tap away. FREE, NO ADS, AND STAYING THAT WAY The daily puzzle is free. So is the Welcome Pack, 75 puzzles that work up from the gentlest. No advertising, no sign-up, no account, and it all works offline. IF YOU WANT MORE Small one-time purchases, inside the app: Full Archive opens every daily puzzle since the beginning, not just the last two weeks. Lefty Pack adds 120 tougher puzzles, a new player to read, and a new kind of goal. Spooky Pack dresses 120 puzzles in Halloween costume and brings a new player, Trixie, who spoils goals whenever she can. Gobbler Pack dresses 120 puzzles for Thanksgiving dinner and brings a new kind of goal: win all of one food. More packs will follow. ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your progress moves between your own devices through iCloud. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. MADE TO BE READABLE Every shape has its own silhouette, so the chips are told apart without relying on color. Text follows your system size setting, with a larger option inside the app. Nothing needs quick fingers or good timing. A quiet daily habit for anyone who likes to think.
