Peekers (מציצים in Hebrew) is a quick card game you win with memory, not luck. Every player has three face-down cards in a pyramid. At the start of each round you peek at your top card for three seconds, and from then on only your memory knows what is there. The goal: finish every round with as few points as possible. Free, in English and Hebrew, no sign-up.
Coming soon to Google Play. The Android version is in Google's review right now.
How to play Peekers
- Peek. At the start of the round you see the top card of your pyramid for three seconds. Remember it.
- Draw. Each turn take a card from the deck, unseen by anyone else, or the face-up card the previous player threw on the pile.
- Swap or throw. Put the card into your pyramid in place of one of your cards, and the card that comes out goes face up on the pile. Or throw it straight away. One small choice every turn.
- End the round. Think you hold the fewest points? Tap "End the round" and everyone else plays one last turn. Right, well done. If someone had fewer or the same, you take 25 penalty points.
Every card is worth its number, from 0 to 12. Points add up from round to round, reaching 100 puts you out, and the last player standing wins.
Three special cards that change the round
Hidden in the deck are the Spy, the Thief and Double Turn. The Spy peeks at a rival's card, the Thief swaps one of your cards with a rival's, and Double Turn gives you another turn at once. Whoever draws one keeps it aside, seen only by them, and plays it at the right moment. The Spy and the Thief work even on the last turn of the round. Everyone knows something is waiting. Nobody knows what.

How it was built
Peekers was built end to end by Asaf Bendor with Claude Code: a native Android app, a real-time game server, and one rules engine shared by the server and the game on the phone, so a match against the computer plays exactly like a match online.
