It is 1928, and the salon is warm. Brass lamps, a piano someone left open,
and a table where the tiles are already waiting.
Vierummy is a game of numbered tiles. Draw, build runs of consecutive numbers
in one colour and groups of the same number in different colours, and empty
your rack before anyone else does. Cross the opening threshold first. Let a
joker stand in for whatever you are missing. And then the part that keeps
people at the table: take apart what is already laid out, until your own
tiles fit.
A TABLE OF YOUR OWN
Opponents with their own temperaments, at the difficulty you choose. Every
hand is played out honestly — no rubber-banding, no loaded dice, no opponent
that forgets how to play the moment you fall behind.
A ROOM WITH THE DOOR CLOSED
Share a room code and sit down with up to three people you actually know.
Empty chairs can be taken by the house if you would rather not wait. No
strangers, and no messages from anyone you did not invite.
TWO SETS OF HOUSE RULES
Casual, for an unhurried evening: generous with jokers, free with the table.
Tournament, for the stricter game competitive players train on — a clock on
every turn, penalties when it runs out, and jokers you have to earn back.
LEARNED AT THE TABLE
Your first game comes with someone beside you, showing you how to meld, how
to use a joker, how to rearrange what is already down — inside a real hand,
not a slideshow. Skip it whenever you like, and come back to it whenever you
like.
A QUIET CORNER
No ad networks, and nothing following you around. No purchases inside. No
energy meters, no daily reminders to come back. Solo play works with the connection off. Twelve languages. And
symbols for players who read colour differently.
Pay once. Stay as long as you like.
