App Store review in progress AI opponent available at launch

A family card game, treated with care

Arbatash brings a classic Middle Eastern family card game to iPhone.

A warm, premium take on the game George’s family grew up playing — built around clear melds, sharp turns, and a calmer table than the usual social-casino mess.

  • Family-first card play inspired by the real game, not a social casino clone.
  • Fast turns, clean meld-building, and a table that feels calm instead of cluttered.
  • A launch path grounded in what is already true today: AI now, multiplayer later.

Not another card app trying to be a casino.

Most mobile card games pile on currencies, banners, and gimmicks. Arbatash is aiming for the opposite: a premium card table with warmth, restraint, and enough polish that the game itself gets to be the star.

Designed to play clean.

The product promise is simple: respect the game, keep the interface legible, and make every turn feel more like a real table than a monetized lobby.

Built-in AI, right now

Arbatash already ships with a smart solo opponent so you can practice melds, pace, and table feel before inviting anyone else in.

Premium by default

No ad slots. No fake coins. No noisy casino chrome. Just a warm card table, clear moves, and the rules people actually play.

Private multiplayer later

The launch focus is a polished single-player foundation. Private-room multiplayer is planned next, once the core experience is locked in.

Actual screens from the current build.

No placeholder frames now — these are real in-app shots from the current iPhone build, including live gameplay, meld selection, and a completed round.

A focused table view

Clear melds, readable cards, and the exact moment-to-moment rhythm that matters in play.

Real game states

Runs, sets, jokers, and discard tension are presented with enough clarity to think ahead fast.

Confident interaction cues

When a move is ready, the interface makes it obvious without shouting at the player.

Results that stay legible

Rounds resolve cleanly, with score context and table state still easy to scan.

Built around what is true now.

Now

Single-player on iPhone with the built-in AI opponent and the current polished gameplay loop.

In progress

App Store review for version 1.0 is underway, with the public store link to drop in as soon as approval clears.

Next

Private multiplayer rooms so family and friends can play together without the noise of a casino app.

The App Store link lands here once review clears.

For now, the call to action stays honest: version 1.0 is in review, the real badge can replace this placeholder as soon as Apple approves it, and the page is already ready for that swap.
