Pull up a chair for the family. Host a table, send the link on WhatsApp, and the cousin who turns up late takes Chachu's chair at the next round, if you say yes. The family at the table now talks too, in English and Hinglish, every word on screen. Your season title sits beside your name, your first rank arrives with your first match, and two wins out of three at one table earn a badge of their own. Progress now explains every badge and title. And the lobby is made to fit iPhone Duo.

A quieter table when you want one: the speaker button now hushes the music too. The lobby settles faster on older phones, and a few things under the felt have been tightened so every hand deals cleanly. The Diwali table lays itself from 1 November.

Nani now explains the rules in a short film, one tap from the rules page. Online, the next deal waits until all four are back at the table. New here? The big green button starts your first match, gently. Want offers and festival news? Leave an email in Settings, entirely up to you. And from 1 November the Diwali table lays itself.

Diwali comes early: a table of diyas and rangoli, free from 1 to 15 November. Rematch the same four with one tap, see which friends are online and pull them to your table. A leaderboard of real players, fresh every Monday. When a round ends early, every leftover card turns face up: no secrets at this table. Two-tap play for careful fingers, a quicker start and a download a third lighter. The widget speaks your language, right on your home screen.

House rules, just the way families play them. A round ends the moment a team takes seven. Double Sir piles its tricks face down in the middle until one player wins two on the trot — and a court means all thirteen. Hidden Rung hides a real card. Be-Ranga needs no call. Mendikot plays Katte or Band, your family's way, and now online too. Pass the trump once and the whole table hears. Every rule and every point sits on the new rules page. Won? Put the card on your status.

Hundreds of hours went into one room. Our designers drew the lobby by hand — and then drew it again for every hour of the day. Open at dawn and the arches are full of morning; come back after dark and the city wakes up behind the curtains. Every game fans its own cards at the door, so you see what you are about to play.

Rung Royal 2.0 kicks the front door open. The cards you're about to play fan out like a hand you've just been dealt: swipe to change your mind, tap once to sit. Name, rank, XP and your daily streak now share one box. Quick Match finds you a live table in ten seconds, Send a Game plays the same deal apart, Home Table drags friends in over WhatsApp. A leaderboard: top ten and you. A counter of every hand ever played, still counting. Cards land. Buttons press back. The banner? Gone.

The bots got a brain transplant. Online they think as sharply as at home: Hard draws trumps, keeps its aces for when they count, leads the king from king-queen. Easy plays like a cheerful beginner; Adaptive turns hard after two wins. Your table is the waiting room: tap an empty chair to invite a friend on WhatsApp and they land on that chair, or seat a bot with a face and a mood. Left a game? The lobby says REJOIN, your seat is kept warm. Push to talk talks. Game Center achievements are live.

The bots got a brain transplant. Online they think as sharply as at home: Hard draws trumps, keeps its aces for when they count, leads the king from king-queen. Easy plays like a cheerful beginner; Adaptive turns hard after two wins. Your table is the waiting room now: tap an empty chair to invite a friend on WhatsApp and they land on that very chair, or seat a bot with a face and a mood. Left a game? The lobby says REJOIN, your seat is kept warm. Push to talk finally talks. Three crashes gone.

Invite links now open Rung Royal straight into your friend's room; install from an invite and your seat is waiting on first open. Hard bots search the hidden cards and play every game on its own terms; Adaptive gets tougher as you win. Won tricks fly to the winner's cards, your hand re-fans as you play, and your side's wins get confetti. Double Sir shows the pile and explains it. Fixed a stray box on the table, a rare launch crash, and iPhone ads.

Mendikot arrives — the battle for tens, with the hukum band the way Maharashtra plays it. Plus gentle reminders for your streak, one-tap joining from WhatsApp invites, and a guest pass to try locked decks.
