Planned
Euchre,
after dinner, anywhere.
In some families, the cards come out the minute the dishes are done. Four chairs, two teams, and a lot of knocking on the table. Now the family can be in four different kitchens. Deal them in from FaceTime or Messages, up to four of you, partners or rivals. And when it's just you, a computer partner who knows the game is ready to play.
This is our plan for Euchre. Solitaire and Mahjong are out now, and we finish one app at a time, so the details may change before it's ready.

Quick hands. Good company.
Euchre is fast, loud and made for company. The call. The groan. The partner who went it alone and pulled it off. So we made playing together the heart of this app.
One tap, and they're in
Start a game from FaceTime or Messages. Your friend taps once and sits down. No accounts. No codes. No setup. Hosting is free, and joining is free.
Partner with anyone
Pair up with your daughter against the grandparents, or split up the couples. Up to four people, and a fair computer player takes any empty seat.
Every trick, together
Everyone sees each card land at the same moment, and trump stays on the table for all to see. Your hand stays yours.
Only the people you know
No strangers. No chat rooms. No public tables. Your game travels through Apple, never through us. We never see it, and we like it that way.
Call trump. Take your tricks.
Trump is always clear. The strongest cards are always marked. And the score is always right there.

How Euchre plays
Two teams of two. A short deck. And quick, clever hands.
Choose trump
A card is turned up. Each player can make its suit trump, or pass and name another suit later.
The play
Only nines through aces. The two jacks of trump's color outrank everything else.
The score
Take three of the five tricks to score. Take all five, or win on your own, for more.

Five things we'll never compromise
Every game we make has to pass the same five tests. Here's how Euchre passes them.
Easy, from the first hand
Trump is always on the table, and the strongest cards are marked for you. A free hint every deal suggests a card, and says why in plain words.
Clean and calm
No pop-ups. No badges. No nudges to keep playing. Just the table, the game and the people you're playing with. Take all the time you like.
Private. Completely.
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. On your own, it works offline and nothing leaves your device. With friends, your game travels through Apple, never through us.
Beautiful
Deep plum felt, lit like a real table. Cards that move like cards. Every detail made by hand, because the people you play with deserve it.
Fun, and fair
Every computer player, your partner included, knows only its own cards. Play the house rules your table knows, and choose how sharp the computer plays.
Euchre for everyone at the table
Clear cards. Every call and play, spoken. And a pace that's all yours.
VoiceOver throughout
Every card is announced by rank and suit, and every play is spoken, so you can play Euchre without looking.
Voice and Switch Control
Standard accessibility actions, including a list of the cards you can play.
Card sizes that fit
Regular, large and extra-large cards, with full Dynamic Type everywhere else.
Four-color deck
A high-contrast deck where each suit has its own color and its own shape. Never color alone.
Reduce Motion
With Reduce Motion on, cards fade into place instead of flying.
Your pace, always
No timers, and no waiting on strangers. The table waits for you.
Free to play. Free to play together.
The whole game is free, and so is every game with friends, hosting and joining. Pro is one optional purchase for players who want more. Nothing to renew. Nothing to remove.

Good to know
Can I play with friends?
Yes. That's what it's for. Start a game from FaceTime or Messages with SharePlay, or through Game Center, up to four of you. Partner with a friend or play against them, and any open seat goes to a fair computer player. Always free, with no accounts and no servers of ours.
Does my friend need Pro?
No. Your friend needs Euchre, which is free, and one tap. Never Pro, never an account, never a sign-in.
When will Euchre be released?
Solitaire and Mahjong are out now, and Euchre comes later. We make one app at a time, and we don't announce dates we can't keep. The day it's ready, this page gets a download link.
Will it cost anything?
Not to play. Euchre will be free to download, and the whole game free to play, on your own or with friends. Pro will be an optional one-time purchase. There will never be ads or a subscription.
Does my computer partner see my cards?
No. Every computer player, your partner included, decides from only its own hand and the cards already played. That includes when to call trump.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
Never an account. Playing on your own works fully offline, and your games and stats stay on your device. Playing with friends far away needs a connection, and that's all it needs.
Will it come to Android?
Yes, that's the plan. The whole collection comes to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
Data Not Collected
That's the App Store privacy label on every app we make, Euchre included. No accounts. No analytics. No advertising. Nothing you do in the app ever reaches us.
Coming later to iPhone and iPad.
Solitaire and Mahjong are out now, and Euchre comes later. We don't collect email addresses, so there's no list to join. Check back here, and meet Solitaire while you wait.
