Shanghai is a classic contract rummy card game. Over a series of rounds each player must complete a fixed "contract" — combinations of sets and runs — before laying down their cards. Later rounds have harder contracts, and the lowest total score wins.
They are all members of the same contract rummy family, with local differences in rounds, buying rules and jokers. In Sankki every one of those rules is configurable, so you can set the table to play exactly the variant you grew up with.
Up to six at a table. Most variants need at least three players — Carioca is played with two to four — and bots count towards that minimum, so two people plus a bot is a real game.
Yes — that is the whole point. Number of rounds, contracts, buying ("May I?"), jokers, penalties and scoring are all table settings. Save your own rule presets and reuse them in one tap.
Your first game is free, including bot games. After that it is €2.99/month for one player, or €5.99/month for a group of you plus five friends — a full table on one payment. Same price on the web, Google Play and the App Store.
Just a browser — nothing to download or install. It works on desktop, tablet and phone. The Android app is on Google Play, the Windows app is in the Microsoft Store and the iPhone app is on the App Store; the same account works in all of them.
Yes. Start a table and fill it with bots — a great way to learn the contracts before inviting your friends.
No. Sankki is a subscription game with no real-money stakes, no chips to buy and no wagering — just the card game, scores and bragging rights.
