Which rules the app plays
Cego is played a little differently in almost every village. This app follows the Bräunlingen style: 11 cards per player, 10 in the blind, 36 out of 70 points to win, and settlement based on the distance from 35 times the factor of the contract.
If your circle plays it differently, write to us – house rules can be added.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an internet connection?
- Only for multiplayer. Playing against the computer works entirely on your device.
- How do I play with friends?
- Through Game Center. Everyone needs an Apple ID and has to be signed in to Game Center. Two people are enough to start – the computer takes the remaining seats.
- Can other players see my cards?
- No. The device that deals sends each player only their own hand – other people’s cards never leave the dealing device.
- Is my score saved?
- Yes, on your device. Deleting the app removes it.
- Does the app collect data about me?
- No. The details are in the privacy policy.
