Carte Blanche

Made by How Seven!

Nominated for Best Sim/Strategy Game in the 2025 Playdate Community Awards!

Welcome to Carte Blanche!

In this cozy card game parlor, owner and operator Blanche is excited to share her love of card games. Pull up a chair and let Blanche teach you a new favorite. (And if you play enough, she might just share some of her most treasured possessions with you.)

Carte Blanche features five classic card games:

  • Cribbage
  • Gin Rummy
  • Spades
  • Cassino
  • Spite & Malice

Learn a New Favorite

Each game offers a guided tutorial with Blanche herself, along with a detailed rulebook. But you can also just dive in and learn as you go. Whatever your play style, Blanche is ready to play.

Try Your Luck and Win!

As you play, Blanche awards you pennies to use in her fancy, not-at-all-found-outside Penny Ante machine. You just might win a prize! (Or at least… you'll win a… thing. Listen, Blanche is really excited about these prizes, okay?)
