Qatari Cards
Authentic Trick-Taking Game
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Qatari Cards is the first app dedicated to the authentic Qatari trick-taking card game — a tradition enjoyed for generations in homes and majlis gatherings across Qatar and the Gulf region.
GAMEPLAY
- Classic trick-taking for 4 or 6 players with a 32-card deck (7 through Ace, plus one wild card)
- Strategic bidding system (Mazaad) where you compete to declare the trump suit
- The wild card is the most powerful in the deck, but holding it at the wrong moment can cost you the round
- Shared score system: one score, one owner, and the team holding it at 32 loses
- Authentic Qatari rules and scoring
SINGLE PLAYER
- Play against AI opponents with Easy, Medium, Hard, and Master difficulty levels
- Hard AI tracks cards, reads voids, and makes strategic decisions
- Master AI goes further, pairing a trained neural network with deep simulated lookahead — the strongest opponent we know how to build
- Adjustable AI speed for your preferred pace
LOCAL MULTIPLAYER
- Play with up to 5 friends (6 players total) over the same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — no internet required
- Seamless peer-to-peer play using Apple's local networking
- Host a game or join nearby sessions instantly
- Empty seats are automatically filled with AI bots
THEMES & APP ICONS
- Six hand-crafted felt table themes: Classic Green, Majlis, Desert Dusk, Royal Crimson, Midnight, and Pearl
- Matching alternate app icons so your home screen follows the table
- Smooth card animations on every theme
FEATURES

- Card play confirmation option to prevent accidental plays
- Complete in-app rules guide (How to Play)
- Designed for all ages — rated 4+
PRIVACY FIRST
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking — and gameplay needs no internet connection

- Multiplayer sessions are encrypted end-to-end
Proudly built in Qatar for the Qatari card game community.
Ratings & Reviews
• Fixed: in 6-player games, the bidding and trump-selection dialogs could be hidden behind opponents' card fans
• Fixed: game-over text grammar — “They win!” instead of “Them Win!”
• Fixed: the trick counter could read “Trick 9/8” at the end of a round
• Master AI tune-up: card-leading decisions now match the exact conditions the AI was trained on
• Opt-in game donations now include the AI's own suggested plays, to help train future versions
