Skat: German Card Game Offline

Skat, the classic German card game for three, offline, the way it is played at the club table: bid, pick up the skat or play hand, put two away, and name a suit game, Grand or Null. You against two computer players, by the International Skat Order. No account, no internet needed.

WHAT MAKES THIS ONE DIFFERENT

Nobody at the table can see your cards
Each computer player decides only from what a person in its seat could see: its own cards, the bids, the tricks played, and the skat only if it picked it up. An automated test checks on every build that dealing the hidden cards differently changes not a single decision. A Fair Play page in the app spells out exactly what each player knows.

Every deal has an ID
Every hand shows a short Fair Deal code. Enter it later and you get the very same cards, so you can replay a hand or send the code to a friend and compare on identical cards. The shuffle is the same on every phone.

The game value, worked out
When you name your game you see what it is worth, with or without matadors, hand, schneider and schwarz, and whether you would be overbid. After every hand the score sheet shows the whole sum.

Everything in the Skat Order
Bidding from 18 with yes and pass, skat or hand, schneider and schwarz announced, ouvert, Null at its fixed values, lost games doubled, overbids by the rule. A How to Play page covers every rule the game uses.

Opponents at three levels
Easy, Normal and Hard. The hardest level guesses the hidden cards many times over and plays out each possibility, without ever looking. A hint shows what that level would do in your place.

A new Daily Deal every day
The same cards for everyone who plays it that day, and a streak to keep going.

Your series, your scoring
3, 6, 12, 18 or 36 hands per series. Score by game value, or as a tournament (Seeger-Fabian: plus 50, minus 50, 40 to the defenders). Three free undos and one hint per series. Your series is saved between sessions.
