Vinto!

Five cards in front of you, face down. At the start you may look at two of them. Everything else you have to work out — from what other people draw, what they throw away, and what they are suddenly willing to risk. Call Vinto when you think your hand is the lowest. Be right and it pays. Be wrong and it costs you. WHY VINTO • You learn it by playing it — the tutorial deals a real round and talks you through your own hand as it goes. No rulebook, no video, and you can skip it and start playing. • A multiplayer card game with people you actually know — open a room and send six characters. Whoever gets them is at the table. No account, no sign-up, no friend list, and nothing to install for anyone who would rather play in their browser. • Three opponents who genuinely think — the computer players search the game out rather than following a script, at three strengths. Solo plays fully offline, with no connection at all. • Every card does something — look at one of your own, look at somebody else's, swap two cards blind, or make the whole table throw in a rank. Knowing when NOT to spend one is most of the skill. • Your own pace — calm while you are learning it, brisk once you are not. Light and dark, both measured for contrast, and nothing at the table is told apart by colour alone. • Nothing to buy and nothing to watch — no ads, not now and not ever. No account. The anonymous counting can be switched off in Settings, and it never carried a name in the first place. HOW A TURN GOES Draw from the deck, or take the action card sitting on the discard pile. Swap it into your hand, use what it does, or throw it away. Then anybody holding a card of the same rank may throw theirs in — which is where a round can turn over in one second, in either direction. Number cards score their face value. Action cards score ten. The King scores nothing at all, and the Joker takes one off. So a hand you cannot see is a hand you cannot price, and that is the whole problem. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone who likes a card game with memory and a bluff in it, and a short round — the kind that gets played four times because the first one ended in an argument. It is a family of games people have played around kitchen tables for years; this is that game, with three opponents who are always free and a table you can open for your own. Hold less. Know more.

A King now plays just like it does at a real table. The table feels at home on every screen. On a tablet it spreads out, and the cards grow with it. Big hands stay tidy, long names fit, and the online lobby fits on one screen. And a fresh launch screen to greet you. Thank you for playing!
