Small answers for the moments that interrupt a hand.

Getting started

Can I play without installing anything?

Yes. Open the web app and choose Play in browser. Android players can also install the app from Google Play. The iOS build is still in progress, so iPhone and iPad players can use the browser version.

How do I practice?

Choose Play with Bots for a normal practice hand. Choose Learn with Coach for guided explanations while you play.

How do I play with friends?

Open Online, create a room, and share the room code. Friends can join from the browser or Android app.

During a hand

Why is a card disabled?

You must follow the suit that was led when you have one. A disabled card is not legal for the current trick. If you are void in the led suit, discards become available.

Why can I not play a hidden trump?

You can play it when you are void. Playing it does not reveal trump. The hand continues to follow the led suit until someone explicitly reveals trump with the face-down trump card.

What does the face-down card do?

It is the hidden-trump control. It is active only when you are on turn, cannot follow suit, and the contract has a hidden suit. Tapping it reveals trump for the table.

What is the table status?

The table can show online, reconnecting, or bot control for a seat. If a player loses connection, the table gives them a short grace period before a bot continues their turns. Returning players reclaim their seat without undoing moves.

Connection and accounts

What happens if I lose connection?

Reconnect to the same game with the same account. The table keeps your seat. If the connection does not return during the grace period, a bot keeps the hand moving.

Is chat a permanent conversation?

No. Quick chat is made of predefined messages and emoji reactions. Messages are temporary table reactions, not a stored chat history.

Is my progress saved?

Online games are server-authoritative and game state is synchronized between players. Completed games appear in your account history when you are signed in.
