Pile — Card Games Together

New: 304, the Sri Lankan partnership game — bid in points and hide your trump. Seven card games, played with your family from a four-letter code.

Seven card games. One table. No account, no ads, no coins.

Pile is for the games people actually play at home — the ones from the kitchen table, and the ones you picked up later.

PLAY WITH YOUR PEOPLE Start a table and share the four-letter code. Your family joins by typing it in — no sign-up, no password, nothing to make. If somebody's phone dies mid-hand, the house covers their seat until they come back, and tells them what was played for them.

PLAY ON YOUR OWN Four strengths of opponent that know the games properly. They count what has been played, remember who ran out of which suit, and play an ending exactly. Easy is genuinely easy. Expert will beat you.

THE GAMES • Seep (Sweep, Sip) — fishing, houses, and the sweep. Two-handed or partners, and the baazi is yours to set. • Bhabhi (Thulla, Getaway) — never be the one left holding the pile. Two to seven players. • Gin Rummy — knock, gin, undercut, layoffs. Oklahoma or classic. • Euchre — bowers, loners, stick the dealer, going alone. Play to ten, or to whatever your family plays to. • Big 2 — shed your hand: beat the pile or pass. Twos are high and the three of diamonds opens. • President — Big 2 plays this way too: sets only, and the finishing order carries into the next round. The Scum hands the President their two best cards. • Bluff (Cheat) — lay cards face down and claim a rank. Call a lie, or get caught in one. • 304 — the Sri Lankan partnership game. Bid in points on your first four cards, and set aside a trump only you know. • Bluff (Cheat) — lay cards face down and claim a rank.

YOUR RULES Every game keeps its own rulebook — table size, target, and the variations people argue about. Set them once and the table remembers.

ON THE TELEVISION Put the table on a big screen and play from your phones around it. The screen shows the table and never anybody's hand.
