deck – your playing cards

Skat, Briscola, Gin Rummy or your house game: deck deals the cards, you bring the rules. Free, with no ads and no account.

deck is a deck of cards for your iPhone. A tool, not a game: the app knows no rules and enforces none. Whether it was your turn, whether a card followed suit, who a trick belongs to – you settle that among yourselves, just as at a table with real cards.

What deck does guarantee is something else: every card exists exactly once and lies in the same place on every device. Everything else is yours.

FOUR MOVES • Draw a card: tap the stock. • More at the stock: press and hold the stock to turn the top card face up, set it as trump or shuffle. • Move a card: tap a card in your hand to lift it, then drag it to the discard pile, a free field or back into your hand. The target lights up and shows where the card will land. • See the trump: a trump card that has been set sits in the coin at the top right. Press and hold to see all of it.

PLAY TOGETHER Open a table and invite friends through Game Center – or let other players fill the free seats. Your hand stays private: nobody sees your cards, not even someone who joins later. Whoever opens the table is the host – with scores, pause, restart and a step back in the history.

Playing alone works too. The table deals as soon as you start.

FOR MANY GAMES Twelve presets, including Skat, Doppelkopf, Schnapsen, Briscola, Mau-Mau, Durak, President, Schwimmen, Gin Rummy and Cheat – or a table of your own.

Free. No ads, no purchases, no account, no tracking. Playing together requires Game Center.
