Maskaraldus — Family card games, on everybody's phone.

A real table, on every phone

Open a game, share its six-letter code, and everybody sits down, with an account or as a guest with just a name. Every move reaches every phone at once.

Natural — swipe through a fanned hand, slide a card up to hand it over
Fair — the app keeps the turns and the rules, or the host picks free play
Lively — a family completed makes every phone at the table chime and sparkle
Never alone — computer players at three levels, who never peek at anybody's hand

Your own card games

On the website, anyone can build a card game from their own pictures. Each family's colour and names are drawn around every photo, and the game is playable on the phone straight away.

Two games — 7 Families or Old Maid, from square cards to tarot
Quick — drop a handful of pictures to fill a whole family at once
Safe — an administrator reviews every card before a game goes public
