Koutchina 1.4 — nine games, and Baloot in minutes. • Baloot now plays to 52 against bots and in Quick Match: a whole match in minutes. Diwan, invite and tournament tables keep 152, and Belote plays to 501 the same way. • Nine card games: Basra and Estimation have joined Baloot, Tarneeb, Hand, Trix, Ronda, Quinza and Hez 2, each with its lessons and a solo mode. • Saudi Baloot: Sun can be called in the first round. • Start playing in one tap: one screen, no tutorial you did not ask for, and a guest account made for you. Link Apple, Google or your email later, in one tap. • New to Baloot? Home opens on the short game, a lesson is one tap away, and your first bids come with coaching and extra time. Bots start easy and move up as you win. • The round card says who took the round and how far each side is from the target, with a sound and a haptic when it is yours. Your first win gets its moment. • Seat links got smarter: open one before installing, and a paste row on the first screen takes you straight to your seat. The link's preview in WhatsApp shows the host, who is waiting, and your seat. • Finished early in Hez 2 or Trix? Leave, or stay and watch. The results find you either way. • The shop grew: felts, card backs, seat frames, name inks, gift bursts, voice stingers and emote packs, with a try-on table. The week's top three wear the laurel frame for a week. • A player who leaves a table mid-match forfeits the stake. • Gifts land on the seat they are sent to, and emotes appear beside the sender. • Fixes: text clipped at large font sizes, a stuck Skip on the welcome screen, and mission and Season Pass rewards that were not credited.

Koutchina 1.3 — every empty seat is an invite. • Trix is here, the seventh game: four kingdoms, one per player. Play it Solo or Partner, Classic or Complex. • Every empty seat is a link. At your own table, in a private room or your Diwan, tap an empty seat or a bot's seat and send it on WhatsApp, or invite an online friend straight to it. Your friend lands in that seat with no sign-up first. Started without them? A bot plays the seat until they arrive, then hands it over mid-game. • Play offline. Solo games against bots now run on your phone, in all seven games, with or without a connection. Leave the app mid-game and it waits for you; your rewards land when you are back online. • Share your win. Every win makes a picture card: the game, the score, the names at the table, the trick that decided it, and your invite link. A kaboot, a capot or a project win gets the big treatment. • New here? Tap Play now and you are dealt straight into a hand against bots, no sign-up first. Save your account after your first win. • Results say more: how many times you have played an opponent, the wins you share with a partner, and who is ready for the rematch. • Home opens on your Diwan's live table when one is running, then Quick Play, which now shows the rules you play. Free chips moved into the + on your chip balance. • The French-deck tables (Baloot, Belote, Hand, Tarneeb and Trix) now turn counter-clockwise on screen, the way the game goes round a real table. • Tables read better: words never shrink, the turn clock sits on the decision panel, and the sort buttons say what they do (By suit, Trump first). Played cards look like real cards again; the big-rank version is in Settings, Accessibility, Played-card helper. • Belote no longer makes you overtake your partner when they are already winning the trick. • Hand's results now rank all four players, 1st to 4th. • Quinza and Ronda no longer point out your captures. The counting is yours again, as at a real table. • Locked your phone as a game ended? The results are waiting when you come back. • A returned stake now shows as a Bet refund in your chip history, not as a win. Tell us what to build next from Settings, Support. Yalla.

Koutchina 1.2.0 — new rules to play by, and a table that keeps up. • Choose the rule set when you open a room. Baloot the Saudi way or Belote. Hand Kuwaiti, Tarneeb Levantine, Ronda Moroccan or a quick 25, Quinza to 15 or Rb3ine to 40. Your region suggests a default, and the rule card always shows the rules you actually chose. • Belote classique joins Baloot: contract bidding, belote-rebelote, capot, and a match to 501. • Play again without getting up. When a match ends, anyone can call for a rematch and the table votes — in all six games. • Bots take a breath. Every bot move now waits about three seconds, so a hand reads like a hand. And a table whose last player has left finishes the deal and closes, instead of playing on by itself. • Tarneeb ends. A match that never reaches the target now stops after 50 scored rounds, and the higher score wins. Hands where everyone passes are re-dealt, and the rule card says so. • One thing per seat: tricks counted in the middle, one caption, one badge. A card on the table is never quietly cut off — if one does not fit, a +N tells you how many are there. In Baloot, the revealed card is dealt onto the felt in front of you. • Friends work. The friends list was coming back empty for everyone; that is fixed. A request you send now shows as Requested, and if you both asked, you are friends straight away. Search sits at the top of the screen. • Leaderboards you can trust: this week, this month, and a board of your friends alone. Your own row is marked, and the standings refresh within seconds of a game ending. • Every name is now unique and readable. Invisible characters can no longer be used to copy someone else's name, and accounts that had none now have one. • Getting around is calmer. Settings, Friends, Leaderboard, Missions, Help and the rest open over the tab you were on and hand you straight back to it. Leaving a table returns you to the games list. • Arabic reads right. Card corners no longer mirror, so every card in your fan shows its index, and names keep their place inside a sentence. Tell us what to build next from Settings, Support. Yalla.

Marhaba — Koutchina 1.1.0 is all about the table. • Easy bots really are easy now in all six games. New players start there, and once you have ten games behind you the app moves you up a level — unless you have chosen a difficulty yourself. • Hez 2 and Quinza play by their real Moroccan rules. Hez 2's special cards are the ace, the two and the seven, and a three- or four-player round now plays on past the first player out, so second, third and last are all settled. In Quinza the court cards count what is printed on them, the deal passes a seat each hand, and you pick the match length when you make the room. • The table shows you what is happening — every bid beside its seat, a banner naming who took the contract, won tricks and captures sliding to whoever took them, and a scoreboard in the pause between deals. Tap a card you cannot play and it tells you why. • Add a friend from the table, and redeeming an invite code now adds you both. The leaderboards show real standings, and a name change appears on them right away. • You now join a voice room muted, and a mic button at the table lets you talk during a match. • Saving a guest account by email now works, including when you open the link on another device. • The rules open from every table, and Help is now reachable from Settings. • Rewards from watching an ad now credit properly, and the button no longer gets stuck loading. • Also fixed: taps at the bottom of the table hit your cards instead of the chat panel; your own hand no longer covers the bidding buttons in Hand and Tarneeb; Arabic text is no longer clipped; every theme now reaches the whole app; and a table that used to load forever now lets you go back. Keep telling us what you love and what you want next. Yalla.
