The Bearded King

Rediscover Le Barbu, the 7-contract card game, reimagined for mobile. The rules change with every round. Sometimes you must avoid tricks. Sometimes you must stay away from hearts, queens, or the last trick. And when the Barbu enters play, a single card can turn the whole game around. The 7 contracts: • No Tricks • No Hearts • No Queens • Last Trick • No Barbu • Salad • Sequence Each contract calls for a different strategy. Watch your opponents, keep track of the cards still in play, and choose the right moment to get rid of the most dangerous cards. Face three AI-controlled players and choose your difficulty level. The higher the level, the more carefully you will need to plan your moves, anticipate your opponents’ reactions, and manage your hand. Le Barbu belongs to the great family of traditional trick-taking games, alongside games such as Hearts, King, Rıfkı, and Lorum. Features: • 7 contracts with different rules • 3 difficulty levels • Games against 3 AI opponents • Local network multiplayer for up to 4 players • Quick and varied games • Fully playable offline • Automatic game saving • Multiple avatars and card backs • Interface available in several languages A good deal can help, but it is not enough. Should you save that card for later? Take this trick now? Get rid of a dangerous heart? Try to trap an opponent? Every round forces you to change your strategy. Whether you already know Le Barbu or are discovering this card game for the first time, you will find a game that is easy to learn, yet one where every decision can matter. Master the 7 contracts, adapt your play, and try to finish with the best score. Please note: this is the 32-card variant played in Corsica—and even our own group does not agree on every detail. Many variants exist, with different deck sizes, rules, and scoring systems. Visit our website for more information about the rules used in this version. Your turn.
