The games

Card games the way they should be: you sit down and play. Nothing flashes, nothing interrupts, and nothing tries to sell you another game.

Hearts

Four players. Pass three cards, keep your points low, or try to shoot the moon. Free.

Spades

Play with a partner. Bid your tricks, try a Nil, and watch your bags. Free.

Gin Rummy

Two players. Match your cards, knock, or go gin. Arrange your hand your own way, and the game shows which cards are real melds. Free.

Asia's Best

A two-player card game made up by the author and named for his daughter. Pick your cards by keep or toss, lay down matches and straights, and race to 500. Play the computer, or share one screen with a friend. Free.

Verona

A card game for three to six players, made up by the author. Match by category, number or coin, and watch out for the Storm, the Mask and the Ship. Low score wins. Play the computer, or share one screen with a friend. Free at Trainer level.

Canasta

Two players, two decks with red and blue backs. Included with the paid key.

Rummy 500

Take from the discard pile, score your melds. Included with the paid key.

Questions

Are there really no ads?

None. No ads, no pop-ups, no "buy more" screens, no tracking. The paid key is only mentioned when you tap something that needs it: the Player level button, the locked Canasta tile, or the "Share and earn" button.

Can I use my key on my phone and my computer?

Yes. Paste the same key on each of your own devices. Keys do not expire and do not need the internet.

What if I lose my key or get a new device?

Paste the key from your email again. If you lose the email, write to me and I will send it again.

Does the game save my progress?

It remembers your level and your key. Each game starts fresh when you play again.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC".

The program is new and not code-signed yet. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. The browser version works on any phone and the Android app is above.
