How to Play

The Basics

3players, no partners
54cards, both Jokers in
18cards each, none left over

Every hand, you need to win a set number of books (tricks). Come up short and you get plucked, meaning someone takes your best cards. Give up 7 plucks and you're out.

Your Books

Each hand, every seat has a target. Roles rotate every hand, so everyone takes a turn in each spot.

77 SpotThe dealer. Needs 7 books and calls trump.
66 SpotNeeds 6 books.
55 SpotNeeds 5 books.

Trump & Jokers

The dealer calls trump before plucking begins. The two Jokers are always the top cards, and they count as trump.

BIG★ > LITTLE☆ > A♠ … 2♠ > everything else

Example with spades as trump.

  • Follow suit if you can.
  • Can't follow? Play anything, and cut it with trump to take the book.

Plucks

Fall short of your books and you owe plucks to whoever beat theirs: one pluck for every book you missed.

  1. 1They hand you a bait card and name its suit.
  2. 2You give back your highest card in that suit.
  3. 3Nothing higher? Their bait comes right back.

Trump and Jokers can never be plucked. You can skip a pluck you're owed, but it still counts as given.

Pass it on. Owed plucks from both players but only have one low card in the suit you want? Bait the first player, then on the second player's screen tap Pass on next to that bait card. Whatever the first player gives you goes straight to the second player as your bait, so one low card gets you the best card either of them holds in that suit.

Winning

The game ends when someone is projected to hit 7 plucks given. Whoever has given the fewest plucks wins.

Cat GameThe two survivors are tied. Nobody wins.
Double UpYou knock out both opponents in the same hand.

Online tables cost 10, 50 or 200 chips to join. A win pays 3× the buy-in (2.5× when a seat is filled by AI), and a tie gives your buy-in back. Your first win each day, online or vs AI, adds a +20 bonus.

Tips

  • Real players are waiting. If a banner says someone's looking for a game, tap Play Online to play them instead of the AI.
  • No sound? Game sounds respect your phone's silent switch. To mute the game but keep your ringer on, use Sound at the bottom of the lobby.

Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Cut Throat is operated by Evolve X Enterprise. Questions? Email support@evolvexenterprise.com and we'll get back to you within 30 days.

What We Collect

Advertising

The iOS and Android apps show ads through Google AdMob: guests may see ads between games, and signed-in players can choose to watch an ad to earn free chips. AdMob may collect your IP address, device information and ad interactions to serve and measure ads. On iPhone, it only uses your device's advertising identifier if you allow tracking when iOS asks; change that anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android, it may use your device's advertising ID; reset or delete it anytime in Settings → Google → Ads. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.

What We Don't Collect

No payment info (there are no purchases), no precise GPS location, no contacts or photos from your device. We don't sell your personal data.

How We Use Your Information

Who We Share It With

Only the services that help run the game: Google and Apple (sign-in), Google AdMob (ads), our hosting provider, and an IP-lookup service used to find approximate location. Other players only see your display name, avatar and in-game stats.

Sign-In Permissions

Google sign-in uses basic profile access only, with no access to Gmail, Drive or any other Google service. You can revoke access in your Google Account settings or, for Apple, in Settings → Apple ID → Sign in with Apple.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secured servers and sent over HTTPS/TLS. We follow industry-standard practices, though no service can guarantee 100% security.

Your Rights & Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account anytime with Delete Account at the bottom of the home screen, or by emailing us. You can also request access to or correction of your data. EU residents have GDPR rights and California residents have CCPA rights; we respond within 30 days (45 for CCPA).

Children's Privacy

Cut Throat is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
