Common questions

How do I replay the tutorial?

Tap the “?” button in the top right of the table. It deals the same stacked practice hand and walks through it again. Starting it abandons a game in progress, so it asks first.

Why can't the dealer pass in the second round?

That's stick the dealer, and it's intentional. When everyone else has passed twice, the dealer must name a suit, so every hand gets played instead of being thrown in. It's enforced by the game itself, not just by the computer players.

The left bower — is that a bug?

No, it's the rule. The Jack of the same color as trump becomes a trump card, and stops being a member of its printed suit. If spades are trump, the Jack of clubs is a spade for that hand — you cannot follow a club lead with it, and it beats every trump except the Jack of spades.

Can I play against friends?

Not yet. Today all three opponents are computer players. Online play with people you invite is being worked on.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. The game is entirely offline and has no networking code at all.

Can I play on iPad?

Yes. The table is laid out for iPad rather than stretched from the phone. Needs iOS 18 or later.

Reporting a bug

Helpful things to include: which device, which iOS version, and what the table looked like when it went wrong. A screenshot showing the hand is ideal — for a rules question it's essential, because the answer usually depends on exactly which cards were where.
