About Atout

20+ card games. One world.

Atout brings the greatest card games together in a single app with pixel-art charm: from family classics to demanding trick-taking games, from relaxing solitaires to capture games from around the world. Everything runs on the same polished engine, with official rules and opponents that genuinely play.

A collection that never runs dry.

23 games and 24 variants thanks to alternate rules:

  • Trick-taking — French Tarot, Belote (+ Contrée), Hearts, President, Big Two
  • Melds & rummy — Rummy, Gin Rummy
  • Modern party games — Flux, Crazy Eights, Shithead, Sheeplosion!
  • Poker & casino — Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Blackjack (+ Side Bets)
  • Solitaires — Klondike, FreeCell, Spider
  • From around the world — Scopa (Italian), Hanafuda Koi-Koi, Korean Go-Stop, Japanese Hachi-Hachi
  • For the family — 1K - The Race, Happy Families, Golf
  • And one fully original game — Ascension

Every game brings its variants: draw-three Solitaire, Daifugō for President, Oklahoma for Gin, four-player Scopone, Macau for Crazy Eights, Blackjack side bets… 47 ways to play, and plenty to rediscover in rules you thought you knew.

The opponents

  • 3 difficulty levels — from a relaxed game to a real challenge.
  • Advanced intelligence — on the hardest setting, the AI truly searches ahead (tree search) across nearly every game. It never peeks at your hand: it just plays better.

Solo or together

  • Single-player — one player versus the computer, with games resumed right where you left off.
  • Local & online multiplayer — games on your local network are found automatically, with no IP address to type; online, share a game code or browse the lobby to create and join games. Drop out and your seat is held until you're back.

Built to last

  • Six languages — EN / FR / ES / Portuguese (Brazil) / Simplified Chinese / Russian. AI-translated, everything included: menus, rules and the card encyclopedia. Spotted an awkward line? Tell us and it gets fixed.
  • Meta-progression — per-game stats, best scores, and 78 achievements to unlock.
  • Customizable color themes and a dedicated mood for each game.
  • Classic or alternate (high-contrast) decks
  • Controls: mouse / touch / gamepads, your choice.
  • Vibrant atmosphere: the table's lighting follows the current time of day, and the sky behind the board mirrors the real weather where you are — sun, clouds, rain, storm, snow or fog. Both can be set by hand or turned off.

Your classics, just like home

Atout is the box of card games you pull out whenever you want — no rulebook to dig up, no missing cards, and always someone ready for a round.
