Lay down sets, race to empty your hand, and don't get caught holding the Queen of Spades. Play George, Avanell & Janice, or deal in the whole family online.
Lay down sets. Empty your hand first. And whatever you do, don't get caught holding the Queen of Spades.
Black Queen is the rummy-style card game families have played around the kitchen table, now on your phone. The Black Queen is worth 100 points: lay her down in a set of queens and those points are yours; get stuck holding her when the round ends, and they come off your score.
Play three AI opponents with real personalities, or deal in friends and family online, from across the room or across the country.
HOW IT PLAYS
Lay down sets of three or more cards of the same rank. 2s are wild. Jokers are worth 50 and make sets of their own.
Grab the discard pile when it helps you, and race to go out.
Cards left in your hand count against you, so a score can go below zero.
First to 1,000 points wins (2,000 in Teams).
A short tutorial walks you through your first hand.

Made by Peace Harbor Studios, a small studio in Sandpoint, Idaho, in honor of George and Avanell's 70 years at the card table.
There's no friends or family in a game of cards.
George and Avanell have been sitting across from each other at the card table for seventy years — George with his patient sandbagging and those sudden monster sets that come out of nowhere, Avanell counting every card and knowing exactly when the math turns in her favor. The game’s quiet hook is that timing and count decide everything. I wanted to bottle that. The quiet tension when the Black Queen is still out there somewhere. The way a game that looks simple on the surface becomes a shared language between people who've loved each other for a very long time.So, in honor of their 70th Wedding Anniversary, the AIs carry their names. George still holds cards too long and then dumps everything at once. Avanell counts and pounces the second the odds shift. Cousin Janice is, well, cousin Janice. They talk during the hand. They complain about their cards when they're winning. Playing against them feels like being back at the family table, where every turn comes down to reading the table and striking at the right moment.The daily hand is the same deal for everyone at midnight, with global and friends leaderboards and a streak that actually means something because it tracks the days you show up. Online play with real people works just as well, whether you want a quick match or something slower and more deliberate. Progress, achievements, and XP all sync across devices without any drama.George and Avanell, this one’s for you. Thanks for all the hands we’ve played — and for the ones still to come. Congrats to seventy years at the card table, and to many more turns together. ❤️
So Addicting and Enjoyable
