Cards with Phones6.0.1 - App Store

Cards with Phones lets you play popular card games anytime you're together with friends, whether you're waiting in line, out at a restaurant, or taking a flight together (that's right... it even works on airplanes). Advanced peer-to-peer connectivity means Cards with Phones works as long as you and your friends' phones are within Bluetooth or WiFi range of each other.

NOTE: You can PLAY FOR FREE in black & white, with all features enabled. If you like it, upgrade to FULL COLOR with a one-time simple in-app purchase.

WHY IS IT IN BLACK AND WHITE?

So you and your friends can try Cards with Phones, fully-featured, as much as you want until you decide it's worth it. Fair, right? And if some of your friends want to stay cheapskates, you can still play with them!

CAN I PLAY ACROSS THE INTERNET WITH CREEPY STRANGERS?

Nope. Cards with Phones is for those moments when you're with friends and forgot to bring playing cards. I wanted to offer people another way of having fun together, in person.

CAN I PLAY AGAINST THE COMPUTER?

Yup! Just add robots to any game and you can test your skills against my advanced AI.

ARE YOU GOING TO ADD MORE GAMES?

Yes! I plan on adding more based on what people ask for in reviews, so please be nice and rate this app. Or post your suggestions in the CardsWithPhones subreddit.
