The update log

A launch candidate for Apple.

Build 36 is now uploaded and marked Ready to Submit. This is a launch candidate, not a public release. Internal testers continue to have build 35; no App Review submission or release is recorded by this marketing update.

Your people. Your pace.

• Online play is saved and turn-based only; the live-match option has been removed.
• Choose 2–4 seats and optional computer players. Keep favorite friends close in the combined Friends screen.
• The host opens a new game. Rematches preserve the previous-loser opening rule.
• All participating devices need build 35 or a later compatible build for mixed human/computer tables. Invitations, handoffs, rejoin, and rematches still need two-device acceptance testing.

Four modes, each with its own welcome.

• Quick Game, Mahjong Durak, Endless, and Village Cup now use matching illustrated setup screens.
• Quick Game fits its rules, opponent choices, neighbor setup, and difficulty on one screen for standard iPhone layouts.
• Each mode keeps its own game flow and saved progress; existing regular, Endless, Mahjong, and tournament saves stay separate.

Friends first. A safer table.

• A reorganized Home with Play With Friends, Play Solo, Find a Table, and labeled Decks, Leaderboards, and Badges shortcuts.
• Favorites-first invitations and a separate Recently Played list with removal, Clear List, and Undo.
• Public tables for 2–4 players in both variants: create, join, ready up, and let the host start. Beta connection flow; real-account acceptance testing continues.
• Chat filtering, reporting, blocking, moderation enforcement, Safety & support, and a chat-off setting. Updated privacy declarations.
• Adaptive iPhone/iPad layouts, larger-text support, and a small version indicator on Home.

A closer look at every deck.

• Russian Heirloom (formerly Vintage No. 1) is permanently free, with original keepsake box art.
• Interactive 36-card galleries, suit filters, enlarged/flippable cards, and selectable backs.
• Separate optional 72-hour trials for premium packs in the App Store version; verified TestFlight testers unlock all bundled decks, backs, and tables.

More character. More ways to play.

• Larger backed Vision Aid ranks, immediate dragging of selected cards, and clearer trump/playable markers.
• Seven neighbors with reactions, Difficult opponents, Village Cups, medals, XP receipts, and expanded player records.
• Game Center competitions, music playlist continuation, and deck purchase/restore interfaces.

A hand that fits.

• Portrait hands use an overlapping row, with an optional expanded scrolling view.
• Compact landscape trump/deck panel and improved bilingual Home sizing.

Music for card night.

• Three bundled songs with selection, volume, mute, and on/off controls.
• Face-down deck with an exposed trump; translucent playable and trump markers.

Keep an eye on the trump.

• More prominent trump suit and remaining deck count.
• Independent saved Trumps and Helper preferences; rules and settings in the table menu.

A helping hand.

• Hint button, optional playable-card highlights, and a more compact action area.
• Home and table layout improvements for small screens, rotation, and larger text.

Drag your next move.

• Drag cards to attack, defend, add matching ranks, or transfer.
• Tap actions remain available; invalid or cancelled drops preserve your hand.

Everything stays on the table.

• All six attack/defense pairs fit the portrait table without scrolling.
• Played cards keep their player labels and remain visible until the bout is collected or cleared.

Bring your friends.

• Live Game Center tables for 2–4 players, badges, achievements, and local statistics/history.

Your language, right on Home.

• An English / Russian switch on Home, remembered between launches.

The first beta table.

• Offline Classic and Transfer Durak with one to three computer opponents, saves, sound, haptics, and English/Russian.
