About this game
Batak is Turkey's favourite card game: four players, thirteen tricks, one trump. Bid how many tricks you will take, name the trump, and make your contract — or go "batak". Four modes: solo (ihaleli), partners (eşli), koz maça and gömmeli.
READ YOUR HAND BACK
After every hand the game shows it to you again, card by card: what you played, what the engine would have played, and why. It answers the question you faced, from the cards you could see — it does not look at anyone's hand — and it tells you how sure it is: "better in forty deals, worse in none". The first two hands are free.
A TABLE, NOT A SLOT MACHINE
A warm felt under a lamp, decks drawn for this game, and cards that fan, fly and land the way real ones do. No banners, no coins, no timers, nothing flashing at you.
THE REGULARS
A cast of twenty-two, each with a face, a temper and a history with you. A different three sit down each game; pin the ones you like. Who makes their contract as your partner, who you take the hand from — it is all kept.
OPPONENTS THAT PLAY THE GAME
Three levels. The hard one samples thousands of possible deals before every card and bids by expected points; it remembers who is out of which suit. Easy is forgiving. Normal is a fair table.
THE RULES YOU PLAY BY
Every house has its own Batak. Minimum bid 4, 5 or 6; what happens when everyone passes; trump in the first trick; leading trump before it is broken; the "must beat the trick" rule; double penalties; the game to 51 or 101 or a fixed number of hands; no-trump (sans) bids. Each has a one-line explanation.
TAUGHT AT THE TABLE
Your first hands explain themselves: when a card cannot be played the game says why — follow suit, beat the trick, play trump. The last trick stays visible, and the score is kept the way it is kept on paper.
HONEST MONEY
Free; an advert only between hands — never during play, and no rewarded video. One purchase (Batak Master) removes them and opens the rest: every hand read back, the full record, four more table looks — deck, card back and cloth together — and any face in the cast as your own. Nothing that wins a trick is for sale — the bots play exactly as hard.
YOUR DATA
Everything stays on the phone: settings, statistics, your choice of rules. No account, no sign-in. The ad SDK uses the Android advertising ID; the privacy policy says exactly what is used and why.
Offline, in Turkish and English.
