What's in the build
Pineapple and Classic, properly implemented
Real royalty scoring by row, real scoop bonus, real fouling. The royalty chart in-game is generated from the same code that scores the hand, so it can't drift from what actually pays.
Three bots, three attitudes
Beginner plays its own board and little else. Grinder avoids fouls and takes the safe royalties. Shark counts the dead cards on your board and prices its risk against what you're visibly drawing to.
A tutorial that deals you a hand
Not a wall of rules — a guided hand where you place the cards and it explains why. Plus a rules screen and the full royalty chart you can pull up mid-match without losing the hand.
Missions, levels, stakes
Daily and weekly missions, XP levels that unlock bigger tables, and a coin bankroll that goes in and out of every match. It's play money, and it's the reason you play ten more hands.
Progress you can move
No signup to play. If you want your progress on a new phone, attach an email and get a one-time code — that's the only thing an email is ever used for in the app.
Fantasyland, with progressive deals
Queens or better on top gets you the next hand all at once: 14 to 17 cards in Pineapple depending on what you made, 13 in Classic. Arrange them freely before you lock in, and stay in with the standard re-entry hands. Bots earn it and play it too.
Ranked, with a turn clock
A trophy ladder for each variant. Wins move you up, losses move you down, and every street runs on a clock, so you can't think about one card for ten minutes. Needs a connection: trophies are kept on the server.
Private matches with friends
Set up a table, send the code, and play heads-up against someone you know. The server deals and scores — Fantasyland included —, both of you put the same play-money stake in the pot, and anyone you've played shows up in a list you can invite again.
Heads-up or three-handed
1v1 or 1v2. Three-handed genuinely plays differently: the same deck goes round three boards, so half your outs are dead by the middle of a hand and safe boards start winning.
What it doesn't have yet
Being straight about this saves everyone a one-star review. It's a beta and these are the gaps:
- An open lobby. You can play friends with a code, but there's no table to sit at with strangers yet. Private matches are heads-up only. Here's where to play Open Face Chinese poker online against strangers today.
- Android. Not built. The beta list is how that gets prioritised.

Leave your email and it goes out with the next TestFlight build. One email when there's something to install — no drip campaign, and one reply removes you.
Questions about the app
Is there an Open Face Chinese poker app for iOS?
OFC Poker is in open beta on TestFlight for iPhone, running iOS 15 or newer. It plays Pineapple and Classic against bots — offline, with no account — plus Ranked and private matches against friends. Join the beta and you get an invite with the next build.
Is the app free?
Yes, and there is no real-money gambling in it. The coins and stakes are play money used for missions and progression.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. The game is built with a cross-platform stack, so an Android build is realistic — the beta list is how we decide when it's worth doing, so say Android in your reply if that's what you need.
Can I play against real people?
Yes, with people you know. Create a private match, share the code (or invite someone you've played before) and the server runs the table: heads-up, on a turn clock, for a play-money pot. There's no open lobby to play strangers yet.
Does it have Fantasyland?
Yes. Make queens or better on top without fouling and the next hand is dealt all at once. In Pineapple the deal is progressive — 14 cards for queens, 15 for kings, 16 for aces, 17 for trips — and you stay in with trips on top, a full house or better in the middle, or quads or better on the bottom. The bots play it too, face-down until the hand is over.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Hands are dealt and scored on the device, so you can play a 50-round match on a plane. Progress syncs when you're back online, and nothing is lost if you never are.
What does the app do with my email?
For the beta: send you the TestFlight invite and tell you when there's a new build. In the app: nothing unless you attach one yourself to move your progress to another phone, and then it's only used to send a login code. No ad networks, no resale, and one reply gets you removed.
