Every game plays the way it is played at home. We went back to the sources for the whole catalog — rulebooks, federations and the players who keep each tradition — and set each game to its commonest traditional form: the real scoring, the real deal, the real way a match ends. Where a tradition splits, the other forms are on the table as options. Quick match. Games that run long — Tổ tôm, Guandan, Hand and Foot, Bridge and forty more — now offer a shorter sourced form with its own leaderboard, beside the traditional match. Pick one when you search; both are rated. The table shows what the game shows. Discard piles fan where the rules let you look and stay squared where they don't; turn-up cards lie face up; a game's counting aids are hidden in ranked play where its tradition forbids counting. Every rule text, option and coaching line is rewritten and reads in all thirteen languages.

Play while you wait. On the Quick Match search screen, tap “Practice while you wait” and deal a hand of the same game against the house while the search keeps going. When your table comes together, your seat is held for fifteen seconds: take it, or let it go and keep playing. The Dealer’s Club is open. Join by the month or the year, or buy Lifetime once, and play every game in the catalog, dress the table in any deck and skin, and protect your streak with the Streak Shield — on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
