Batak Offline - Card Game

Batak is the Turkish trick-taking card game, a cousin of Spades and Whist, played for generations in Turkish coffeehouses. Batak Offline puts that table on your phone: no internet, no account, no waiting for other players. Sit down, deal and bid. How Batak works Everyone gets 13 cards. Players bid in an auction for the number of tricks they will take, and the highest bidder names trump. Make your bid and it counts for you; fall short and you go down, or as they say in Turkey, you are "batak". Six games at one table • Batak: bid 4 or more in the auction, name trump, every player for themselves • Partnership Batak (Eşli): two teams of two, lowest bid 7 • Batak with spades trump (Koz Maça): no auction, spades are trump and everyone bids • Batak for three (Gömmeli): 17 cards each; the auction winner takes the spare card and buries one • 3-5-8: three players must take 8, 5 and 3 tricks • Spades: the partnership game with nil and bags Play by your table's rules • Game by number of hands (5, 7, 11 or 15) or first to 31, 51 or 71 points • Choose the lowest bid • Trump can't be led until it has been played • No trump on the first trick • The Batak must-beat rule is enforced: play higher if you can, trump when you are void. You never play a wrong card by accident. Fair deals, honest bots The complaint we hear most about Batak apps is "the computer sees my cards". Not here: • Bots know only their own cards and the cards already played. They never see yours. • Every deal is shuffled with your phone's secure random generator (Fisher-Yates). • Each hand shows its deal number, and after a game "Same cards again" replays the same deals. • Three levels: Easy, Medium and Hard. Hard bots count every card and think through many possible deals, but they still never see your hand. Ads wait for the end of the game • Batak Offline is free to play with ads. • Full-screen ads appear only between games, never in the middle of a hand. • Remove ads anytime with a one-time purchase. No subscription. Undo and hints • Undo is free. (On Hard you get one free undo per hand, more by watching a short video.) • Stuck? Watch a short video for an optional hint and the best card is highlighted. • Suggested bid: see what a good player would bid with your cards. • Check the last trick at any time. Easy on the eyes • Big, easy-to-read cards with extra-large corners • Four-color suits option, high contrast and large text • Legal cards highlighted; auto-play when only one card is legal (optional) • Bot speed slow, normal or fast (slow by default) • No timers, nobody rushes you • Portrait layout on phones and tablets After every hand A clear breakdown of bids, tricks and points shows who made it and who went down. Tap "Why did my partner bid that?" to read your partner's reasoning, for example "bid 3: ace of spades, king of hearts, no clubs". Something new every day • Daily hand: the same deal for everyone each day, with a streak • Statistics for each game: win rate and bids made • 12 achievements, 10 table themes (including a coffeehouse table) and 11 card backs, unlocked by playing • Your game is saved automatically, even mid-hand; optional reminder notification • Changing phones?

The hint now clearly shows the best card and names it. Small fixes.
