Play with friends or family, each on your own phone. Start a table and send them its code, or join with a code someone sent you. Empty seats can be computer players (pick Smart or Easy below).

What's new

1.2 Oct 18, 2026 Family tables connect straight to the card server, so moves show up on everyone's phone right away (with a fallback for networks that block it), and a phone in your pocket picks right back up when you open it. The card server is watched around the clock. The Rules page now spells out our table's rules: no stealing the bid, follow suit or trump, Low stays with whoever played it, trump stays when you throw away, and extra trump goes face up.

1.1 Oct 17, 2026 Play the computer! Start a New game, pick Play the computer, and you and a computer partner take on two computer players at a real card table: bid, pick up the widow, name trump, throw away and draw, and play every trick, with a Hint button any time. Everyone else's cards stay face down, your partner's too. The computer players think ahead (or pick Easy), a running score shows each team's points and Game count as tricks fall, and the end of each hand shows the trump left in the deck. 8-point Widow bids now start at 4, and every game type lets you set the lowest bid and the stuck bid. Also now Pitch Night (first called Widow Pitch, then Pitch Score Keeper), with Friends & family tables: start one, share its code, and everyone plays from their own phone, for more than Widow Pitch: pick 8-point Widow, 10-point, 5-point, 4-point or your own custom points, bids and stuck bid, and the Rules page follows the type you pick. New hand tracker: tap cards into each team as tricks are taken and it works out High, Low, Jack, Off-jack, jokers, Ten, Three and Game for you. Put in all four players and it tracks whose deal it is (with Draw for it to pick the first dealer), shoot the moon as a house rule, Bragging rights awards and a leaderboard across all your games, and nicer pop-ups. House rules for how many cards each player and the widow get, and dealing three or one at a time. A quick Game counter, bid stats for each team, a clearer 4-step way to score a hand, new hand-drawn icons, and a family-friendly name for the third mark: Rotten widow.
