Kalooki

About this game

Kalooki is a classic rummy card game brought to life on Android with smooth animations, personality-driven AI opponents, and local multiplayer.

Draw, meld, and discard your way to victory. Form runs (consecutive cards of the same suit) and groups (same rank, different suits) to lay down your cards. Go down when your melds total at least 40 points, then extend any meld on the table to empty your hand. Pull off a Kalooki — laying down your entire hand in one turn — and your opponents pay double!
Played with a double deck plus jokers, Kalooki supports 2-5 players across multiple rounds. Players are eliminated when their score hits the limit. Last one standing wins.

Choose from 12 named opponents across three difficulty levels.
Every AI player has their own playing style shaped by five personality traits: memory, risk tolerance, opponent awareness, greed, and analytical depth.
• Easy — Forgetful Frank, Distracted Dan, Impulsive Irene, Clueless Carl
• Medium — Cautious Carol, Risky Rick, Greedy Grace, Balanced Bob
• Hard — Sharp Sharon, Methodical Mike, Watchful Wendy, Elephant Eddie
Or build your own custom AI with fine-tuned personality sliders.

Local Multiplayer:
Host a game and invite nearby friends to join — no internet or account required. Uses a direct device-to-device connection so you can play anywhere. Mix human and AI players for 2-5 player games. The host controls the lobby, and players who disconnect mid-game can be replaced by AI so the game keeps going. Eliminated players can buy back in or spectate until the end.

Features:
• Vintage card-table design with felt textures and classic card art
• Card dealing, draw, and discard animations at three speed settings
• Drag-and-drop card reordering
• Auto-save and resume — pick up where you left off
• Quick rules reference accessible any time during a game
• Leaderboard with score charts during play
• Lifetime stats: wins, streaks, Kalookis, and full game history
• High-contrast mode for easy differentiation of suits
