Tips 'n Tricks

  • Swipe up to Play

    In addition to touching a card, you can also swipe up ( or flick ) a card to play it. You might have discover this naturally, so this is for old timers as the feature was introduced in version 3.0

  • Quick Play

    Any time during the play of cards, you can quickly end the current game by pressing the button or swiping table from left to right. This is like dropping your hand in traditional game, but in this case the app will automatically play your hand till end and show the end result immediately. This option is not available for Card Count Match.

  • Quick (auto) Bid

    During bidding, you can quickly end the bid (auto bid all unbid hands) by pressing the button or swiping table from left to right. Trump will be set automatically by this action. This option is not available for Card Count Match.

  • Quick Deal

    If deal animations are making you impatient or slowing you down, you can quickly finish a deal by swiping the hand area or table while deal is in progress.

  • Rearrange Cards in Hand

    You can change card order in your hand by swiping the hand area to left or to right to shift cards in the respective direction.

  • Reachability

    For folks with larger phones, it is ofter difficult to reach the middle of screen for bidding, opening trump etc. So instead of doing that, you can double tap anywhere on the table for the default bid , opening trump and advancing the game at the end. Really convenient for one hand play. You are welcome.

  • Online Special - Bonus Tip

    This was an easter egg for a long time. That is, for regular games, you could re-play a hand by rewinding the game by swiping backwards at the end of a game. This option will not work in the new version starting 3.0 . If you really miss it, you can get it back. Swipe backwards with two fingers instead of one. Happy cheating. BTW, This will only work on the standard game series. Not in Cloud games or Card count matches.
