Learn the German card game
Learn Doppelkopf without anyone sighing at you: tips, round reviews and opponents who improve as you do. New: open online tables to join. No ads, no account.
Want to learn Doppelkopf so you can join in at the next family get-together, at the pub or at the club? Then take a seat with Thomas, Sofia and Armin. They explain the game as you play, card by card, and after every round they show you where there was more to gain. No ads, no account, and it plays offline.
Doppelkopf is one of Germany's best-loved trick-taking card games. A round takes just a few minutes, so it fits into any commute or lunch break, and every round makes you a little more confident. These are the real rules: back at a real table you'll know when to call Re, where the foxes are hiding and why everyone wants the Dulle. And once you are ready, bring your friends along: online or on the same Wi-Fi.
HOW YOU LEARN
• Hands-on tutorial: eight short steps, including "Who's your partner?" and "Watch out: a trap!". You tap the right card yourself.
• A tip at the tap of a button: the light bulb suggests a card and tells you why in one sentence.
• Trick helper: a crown shows which card is winning the trick right now. A green plus shows when to give your partner points.
• After every trick, one sentence on why it went that way. After every round, a review: which trick decided it, and where was there more to gain?
• Practice and a cheat sheet: short exercises at the table, the trump order and card points always at hand.
• On first launch the app asks how well you already play and sets up the help to match. Each aid can be switched off once you no longer need it.
• Opponents grow with you: on "Adapts", the bots play about as well as you do.
EARN YOUR TABLE
• The tour takes you through 15 evenings, from the kitchen table via pub night, clubhouse and city championship to the state tournament. The rules are introduced step by step.
• Every venue has its own table, music and props, and at two of them someone new joins you.
• 30 stars are waiting in the challenges. They unlock hairstyles, tables and card decks.
• Seven card decks from "Funfair" to "Blacklight", and five tables.
• Character editor: hairstyle, hair and skin tone, glasses, beard or freckles, your own name.
• Give Thomas, Sofia and Armin a different playing style: cautious, aggressive or chaotic.
• Career with rank, statistics and more than 50 medals.
FOR IN BETWEEN
• Daily deal: four fixed rounds, everyone leads once, one attempt. Can you make par, meaning what a solid player would score with these cards? A tear-off calendar keeps the record.

• The bots play like club players: they count cards, watch their partner and make calls when their hand can carry it.
