Skat is a German three player card game. This app implements the standard rules of the game Skat (+Ramsch).

Please note: This app does not replace a professional Skat player. It plays on a leisure level. The AI player are a test for a neural network algorithm which has learned the game of Skat by observation and self play. For interested readers the networks have around 250 neurons for each game and auction type. This method works not so bad but does generate odd moves occasionally. It is currently not planned to replace the neural network players by a more algorithmic Skat AI players.

Game Rules: Of the three players two play versus one using 32 cards to score more than 60 points. The single or "alone" player is determined in a pre-game auction where all players can bid to become the alone playing player. The winner can then determine the trump color (which must exceed the auction bid value!), exchange two cards and player alone against the two other players. Additionally to the choosen trump suite all Jacks are always trump. All cards played have to follow suite of the first player. If the suite is not available a card can be thrown or a trump can be used to win the trick. Otherwise the highest card wins. The winner of the trick can play the next card. The card's sequence is Jack of Clubs, Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Jack of Diamons, Ace, Ten, King, Queen, 9, 8, 7. A special game mode "0" is so that the alone player gets not a single trick.

Tapping on any card which can't be played will highlight all possible moves. Tapping of animations does speed them up.
