The part that surprises everyone

Half the deck is trumps

Every club is a trump. Every Jack is a trump. Every Queen is a trump. That is twelve of the twenty-four cards, and they are one suit for the purpose of following — the Queen of diamonds is not a diamond, it is a trump.

The trump order · weakest to strongest

K♣4 points

10♣10 points

A♣11 points

J♦ J♥ J♠ J♣2 each

Q♦ Q♥ Q♠ Q♣3 each

6♣worth nothing

The six of clubs is the highest card in the game. A card worth zero points beats everything on the table — which is the joke the game is named after. Read the full rules →

Why Kozel

One against two, twelve times over

The game as it is actually played, rebuilt for modern phones, tablets and desktops.

Take the widow, or refuse it

Whoever holds the Jack of clubs owns the three cards in the middle. Take them and three of yours go back; refuse and their points count to you anyway, sight unseen. Either way you play the round alone against the other two.

Four levels of opponent

Easy, Normal and Hard, plus Master — a neural network that trained against itself for hours and plays a genuinely different order of game.

Online multiplayer

Create a private room and share the code, or hit Quick Match. Empty seats are filled with AI, so the game always starts.

Provably fair deals

In multiplayer the server publishes a cryptographic hash of every shuffle before the deal and reveals the seed afterwards, so you can check for yourself that no deck was rigged.

Nought is not nothing

Thirty points costs four marks and thirty-one costs two — but taking no points at all costs nothing, because you were never in the round. The scoring rewards knowing which of those you are playing for.

Learn as you play

The first deal explains the trumps, which is the one thing everybody gets wrong to begin with. Turn the explanations off when you stop needing them.

No account, no fuss

Single-player works fully offline and saves your game automatically. Multiplayer needs just a nickname — never an account.

English and Russian

Fully localised interface and rules. The game follows your device language, or set it manually.
