Makao – Polish card game

Makao as at the kitchen table: jacks demand, aces change the suit, twos, threes and the battle kings attack, and a four makes you wait. You play against the computer, offline too, and can stop whenever you like: the game saves itself. The app is in Polish.

✔ THE REAL POLISH RULES
Rules checked against Polish Wikipedia (which kurnik.pl points to), Wikibooks and sklep-pokerowy.pl. The app lets you play only what the rules allow, and when a card does not fit, it says why.
• A jack demands a rank from 5 to 10 — for the whole round, its player included
• An ace changes the suit for the next player
• The king of hearts attacks forwards, the king of spades backwards; defend with a two, a three or the other king
• A four: a wait that passes on
• The queen goes on anything, anything goes on the queen
• Makao and stop makao: forget it and you draw 5 cards

✔ YOUR HOUSE RULES
Where the sources differ, you choose: 7 cards instead of 5, jokers, a 2 on a 3 of the same suit, the queens of spades and hearts stopping a king, the queen on an ace. Every rule explained in the app, with the sources.

✔ PROVABLY FAIR DEALS
Before you see a card, the app shows a code. After the game it reveals the key that the deal and every reshuffle were computed from: if the key matches the code, the cards were fixed before anyone saw them. The computer never sees your cards — it knows only its own hand and what is on the table. Your statistics show it too: every player gets the same share of function cards.

✔ COMFORTABLE PLAY
• 1 to 3 opponents and three levels: easy, medium, hard
• Big, clear cards — bigger still if you like
• A four-colour deck (blue diamonds, green clubs) if you find it easier
• The table always shows what is in force: an attack, a wait, a demand, a suit
• A hint when you are not sure what to play
• Your pace: calm, normal or fast
• "Makao says itself", if you would rather not remember

✔ A DAILY CHALLENGE
One game a day with the same cards for everyone. Compare your result with family and friends, and see how many days in a row you can keep it up.

No ads while you play: now and then an ad between games (at most one in three games) and a banner on the start screen. Rather have none? Pay once, no subscription.

A reminder for the daily challenge only if you want one — at most one a day.

No account, no login.
