A card table that feels at home on your screen.

Real screens from the app. The table is played in landscape, with room for every meld.

The American Burraco table on iPad: your hand of eleven cards at the bottom and three finished Burracos in your team's melds, marked clean, dirty and semi-clean.

Melds grow in columns. Finished Burracos turn cards sideways, just as players do at a real table.

The same table on iPhone.
  • A landscape table

    Your team on the left, the opponents on the right, your partner across from you. Every meld stays in view.

  • Cards you can read

    Traditional cards with clear corners and classic court figures, drawn for the screen.

  • Nothing in the way

    Calm colours, clear buttons and gentle animation keep the focus on the cards.

Learn the essentials

Easy to learn. Worth mastering.

Here is the heart of the game. Fourteen short lessons in the app teach the rest, one idea at a time.

  1. Four players, two teams

    You and your partner sit opposite each other and share your melds, your score and your Pot.

  2. Two decks

    108 cards: two full decks and four Jokers. Everyone starts with 11 cards.

  3. Runs of one suit

    Three or more cards in sequence, all of the same suit.

  4. Sets of Aces or 3s

    Only Aces and 3s can be grouped by rank. Every other card belongs in a run.

  5. One wild card per meld

    Jokers and twos can stand in for a missing card.

  6. Seven makes a Burraco

    Grow a meld to seven cards or more. With no wild card it is a clean Burraco, worth 200 points.

American Burraco follows its own clearly defined rules. For example, your team can close the round only after taking its Pot and making at least one clean Burraco. The lessons in the app explain every rule.
