Everyone on their own device
Play together on separate devices with no wifi, account or room code. Someone without the app can play on a neighbour's device.

New to Yaniv? Learn it by playing.
The built-in tutorial is a nine-turn game on a fixed deck. You learn the rules by playing them, not by reading about them.
The rules in a minute
- Your turn: first discard, then pick up. Discard a single card, a set of 2 or more of the same rank, or a run of 3 or more in the same suit.
- Picking up: take the top card of the draw pile, or an end card of the previous discard.
- Calling Yaniv: at the start of your turn, if your hand totals 7 or less (you can change this to 5 or 9), you may call Yaniv and end the round.
- Asaf: if someone else holds an equal or lower hand, your call backfires: you get 30 penalty points and they get none.
- Scoring: everyone else scores the value of their hand. Jokers are 0 and wild. Play to a score limit of 25, 50, 75 or 100.
- Optional house rules: halving your score when you land exactly on 50 or 100, and slamming a matching blind draw straight back onto the pile.
The full rules are in the app, one tap away from every screen.
