Progressive Gin: Rummy Cards
iOS Universel / Jeux
Progressive Gin is a calm, beautifully crafted take on Progressive Rummy — the rising-contract card game families have played around the kitchen table for generations. You might know it as May I?, Shanghai, Liverpool, Kalooki, or contract rummy. No ads. No in-app purchases. No coins, no tracking, no internet required. Just a quiet card room and a good game.
HOW IT PLAYS
Across seven rounds the goal grows: two groups of three… a group and a run… all the way to three runs of four. Each round you draw, build your melds, lay them down, and race to shed every card. Lowest score after seven rounds wins.
BUY THE PILE
When another player is about to draw, jump in and buy the top discard — it comes with two hidden cards off the deck. A gamble that can complete your hand or fill it with deadwood.
YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RULES (New)
Every family plays a little differently, so now you can too. Pick a table to start — The Aunties' House, High Roller, Easy Chair, or Sharp Table — then tune it to taste: how much jokers and aces sting when you're caught with them, and how many times you can buy the pile each round. Your table, your rules. The title screen always shows which one you're playing.
A TABLE WITH CHARACTER
Rose deals you in, and the card-room regulars — Frank, June, Artie, Pearl, Walt, and Hazel — sit across from you in person: six hand-drawn characters who blink, think over their cards, and look quietly proud when they go down. Tell Rose your name and the whole table greets you by it. They play a smart, honest game. No "rigged" computer, no pay-to-win.
MAKE IT YOURS
- Nine table felts, from the lamplit Card Room to a warm Sunset porch — plus Amethyst, Slate, Evergreen, and more
- Card backs to choose from: lattice, grid, dots, pinstripe, or a clean plain
- Optional touches: a woven felt texture, and a "match the time of day" light that warms at dusk and cools at dawn
MADE WITH CARE
- Hand-drawn cards and characters, easy to read at a glance
- Undo a slipped finger — take back your last move until another player acts
- Your table record: wins, streaks, and personal bests, kept on your device
- Play at your pace: relaxed, normal, or snappy — and save mid-game, resume anytime
- Smooth, tasteful animation (and full Reduce Motion support)
- VoiceOver labels on every card and control, Dynamic Type, and high contrast
- Suits alternate colors in your hand and never rely on color alone
- Plays great on iPhone and iPad
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most free card games bury a simple game under pop-ups, timers, and coin shops. Progressive Gin is the opposite: pay once, play forever, offline, with nothing trying to grab your attention or your data. Honest, polished, and built to be passed around the family.
Deal me in.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Play it your way — the table's yours to set now, and it's cozier than ever.
Your house, your rules. Every family plays Progressive Rummy a little differently, so now you can too. Pick a table to start — The Aunties' House, High Roller, Easy Chair, or Sharp Table — then tune it to taste: how much jokers and aces sting when you're caught with them, and how many times you can buy the pile each deal. The title screen always shows which table you're playing.
Four new felts. Pull your chair up to Amethyst, Slate, Evergreen, or a warm Sunset table — nine felts in all now, from the lamplit Card Room to a seaside porch at dusk.
Match the time of day. An optional new touch warms the felt at dusk and cools it at dawn, so the room follows your evening.
Card backs to choose from. Deal with the classic lattice, or switch to grid, dots, pinstripe, or a clean plain back — in whatever felt you're playing.
A woven table. Turn on the new felt texture for a soft baize weave and a little extra warmth.
Rose settles in. She blinks and glances about between hands now — and if you give her a tap, she'll perk right up. (All of it respects Reduce Motion.)
Easier to reach. Fixed the settings button so it's simple to tap on every iPhone, older ones included.
Same promise as always: offline, no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Just good cards.
