## Description

Preferans (Преферанс) is a classic three-player trick-taking card game,<br>much loved across Russia, Ukraine, the Balkans, Greece, and beyond. It is<br>related to Bridge and the older European game Vist (Whist), but stands on<br>its own thanks to its distinctive bidding ladder, the Miser contract, and<br>the cooperative-defense logic of &quot;Whist&quot; play.<br><br>This app lets you play Preferans against two computer opponents on your<br>phone or tablet, anywhere, no internet needed.<br><br>FEATURES<br><br>• Full Sochi-rules engine: bidding from 6♠ through 10NT, Miser, all-pass<br>  rounds (raspasovka), Stalingrad, Gentleman/Boorish whist, progressive<br>  pass bidding — all configurable in Settings.<br><br>• Two AI opponents to choose from. The classic rule-based bot ships on<br>  by default; flip &quot;Stronger Bots (Experimental)&quot; in Settings to enable<br>  a new ISMCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search) bot that looks several tricks<br>  ahead and plays more deceptively.<br><br>• Built for modern Android. Material 3 design with full dark-mode<br>  support. Edge-to-edge layout. Works in both portrait and landscape,<br>  on phones and tablets.<br><br>• 100% offline. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no analytics, no<br>  internet permission. Your local high-score history stays on your<br>  device only.<br><br>• English and Russian language interfaces.<br><br>• Tiny download (under 3 MB) — works on Android 5.0 and up.
