Bahraini Kout

The diwaniya's trick-taking card game — real-time multiplayer, built in Flutter.

Kout is the card game of the Bahraini diwaniya — four players, two partnerships, one deck, and a lot of table talk. This is that game, rebuilt for the phone: real-time, cross-platform, and true to how it's actually played.

The game

A full multiplayer implementation of Kout (كوت), the trick-taking partnership game played across Bahrain and the Gulf. Four players, two teams: bid, call trump, and take your tricks. The rules, the scoring, and the flow are the real ones.

Built with

• Real-time multiplayer over WebSockets — every card lands on all four screens at once.
• Flutter — one codebase, iOS and Android.
• Flame game engine for the table, the deal, and the card animations.
• Firebase for accounts and sessions.
• audioplayers for table sound.

Why

The diwaniya table isn't always full. This brings the game to wherever the four of you are.
