Olsen is the card game Norwegians learn around the kitchen table and on the cabin trip. It belongs to the Crazy Eights family, so if you know that one, you know most of this. I made this version so my friends and I can play it wherever we are, each on our own iPhone, iPad or Mac, and against the computer when nobody else is free. Match the top card by suit or rank. An 8 goes on anything, and you choose the next suit. If nothing fits, draw up to three cards before you pass. When someone is down to one card, the game calls Olsen for them, so everyone knows who to stop. The first one to empty their hand wins. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Invite up to three friends through Game Center. The round starts as soon as one of them has joined, and AI players take the empty seats. Rematch keeps you at the same table and counts who has won the most rounds. After a round everyone can throw applause, hearts or confetti at each other from the end screen. If someone loses the connection, an AI player keeps their seat warm until they are back. Three of the achievements are only for games with friends. PLAY ALONE, OFFLINE Take on one, two or three AI opponents on easy, normal or hard. They have names and a bit of personality, and the hard ones count cards. No internet needed, so it works on a plane or at a cabin with no coverage. LEARN IT IN ONE ROUND Never played? The tutorial plays a round with you and explains each move as it happens. The full rules are in the menu when you want to check something. FOR KIDS, ADULTS AND SENIORS Three themes with their own look and their own opponents. Leo the Lion and Bella Bear sit at the kids table, and the senior theme has larger text and Churchill across the table. PLAY IT YOUR WAY Tap a card twice, swipe it up, or drag it onto the pile. Cards that do not fit bounce back to your hand. On iPhone the whole game works with one hand. • Up to four at the table over Game Center, each on their own device • AI players in the empty seats • Rematch and a running count of who wins • One to three AI opponents on three levels, offline • Wild 8s that change the suit • A tutorial that teaches the game in one round • 23 Game Center achievements • Kids, adult and senior themes • iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch for a quick solo round • English, Norsk, Svenska, Dansk and Suomi Deal the cards and see who gets to say Olsen first.
