Game Description

Foretell: The Magical Trick-Taking Game Step into the tavern and predict your fate. Foretell is a digital love letter to classic exact-bidding card games. Designed with a cozy, fantasy tavern aesthetic, it brings the tension and excitement of traditional tabletop game nights right to your screen—perfect for playing remotely with friends and family.

The Gameplay In Foretell, it’s not just about winning tricks; it’s about knowing exactly how many you will win. Before a round begins, you must analyze your hand and place a strict bid.

Hit your bid exactly: Earn points and claim victory.

Overbid or underbid: Face heavy penalties.

To guarantee maximum tension, the game automatically enforces the infamous Kibitzer Rule: The total number of bids placed by all players can never equal the total number of tricks available in that round. This means the math will never add up perfectly, and someone at the table is guaranteed to fail their bid.

The Deck Foretell features a perfectly balanced deck built for strategic plays and sudden upsets:

4 Standard Suits (13 cards each) to establish the baseline of power.

4 Mages: Absolute trumps that command the table and win almost any trick.

4 Fools: Cards of surrender that allow you to deliberately lose a trick when you need to dodge an unwanted win.

Key Features

Pure Gameplay, Zero Clutter: 100% free to play. No advertisements, no microtransactions, and no forced account creation. Just open the app and play.

Seamless Multiplayer: Create a private room with a simple code and play online with 2 to 5 players across iOS and Android.

Solo Mode: Practice your strategy and test your bidding skills against integrated AI bots.

Automated Scoring: The app handles all the complex math, score tracking, and strict rule enforcement, letting you focus entirely on the game.

Cozy Atmosphere: Enjoy a hand-polished, beautiful fantasy UI that captures the warmth of a real tabletop session.

A Passion Project I built Foretell simply because I missed traditional game nights with my family, who live far away now. I created this app to keep those traditions alive across distances, focusing entirely on fair, uninterrupted fun for everyone.

AI Disclosure

Foretell is a passion project built by a solo developer. To bring this vision to life, AI-assisted tools were utilized in a few areas of development, combined with extensive manual work and refinement: Visual Art: AI was used as a foundational tool to generate base card illustrations and backgrounds. None of the art is raw output; every single asset underwent countless hours of manual overpainting, editing, and color-correcting to achieve the game's cohesive, cozy tavern aesthetic. Music & Audio: AI tools were used to assist with the composition of the thematic soundtrack, which was then mixed, edited, and tailored to fit the specific atmosphere of the game. Code & Programming: AI coding assistants were used to speed up parts of the programming, debugging, and optimization process. However, the core game logic, systems architecture, and final implementation were entirely directed and executed manually. AI was treated strictly as an assistive tool to make a solo project possible, and a massive amount of personal human effort, love, and manual labor was poured into every single layer of the game.
