Literature is in Alpha!
Posted: 24 August 2026, 17:48
Literature, the classic team-based card game for 4-to-8 players, is available in Alpha!
Played with a 48-card deck (all 8s removed), the goal is to deduce which players hold which cards and successfully "claim" sets of six cards, known as half-suits. Players take turns asking specific opponents for specific cards—if they have it, you take it and keep your turn. If they don't, the turn passes to them. Pay close attention to who asks for what, coordinate silently with your team, and claim the most half-suits to win the game!
A few Alpha version suggestions were implemented recently, making the game a lot smoother and more comfortable to play on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. We recommend playing the game in real-time. Give it a try and feel free to share suggestions or report bugs to improve the game.
