Why Brightwell Games App

Card games made for an unhurried moment.

The table is laid out so that you can simply sit down and play. Nothing flashes, nothing counts down, and nothing asks for your attention except the cards.

Cards you can read at a glance

Faces carry a big rank and suit in two corners. Choose standard, large or extra large cards, and switch on four-colour suits if you like each suit to have its own colour.

A set that fits a coffee break

Each day the app lays out three games, one after another, which take about ten minutes together. You can stop after any game and come back to the rest later.

No clock, no ranking, no ads

There are no timers unless you switch one on, no leaderboards, and no ads between games. Your records are yours alone, and undo is part of the table.

Three levels in every game

Each game starts gently and steps up twice. Stay on the easiest level as long as you wish, or move up when a level feels too familiar.

The games

Six games, each with three levels.

Ordinary playing cards and plain coloured tiles, with traditional rules you can follow without reading a manual. Every level is listed here by its name in the app.

Try it here

Play a round of Pairs right here.

This is Level 1, the Warm-Up Grid: six pairs, laid out in a 4 by 3 grid. A pair is two cards of the same rank and the same colour.

  • Look at the cards for as long as you like, then tap Ready to turn them over.
  • Turn over two cards at a time. A pair stays face up.
  • Cards that do not match stay visible until your next tap, so there is no race against a clock.

Level 2 has 20 cards and no first look. Level 3 has 30 cards, with near-matches in the other colour.

Turns 0 · Pairs 0 of 6

Look at the cards, then tap Ready to turn them over.

The daily set

Three games a day, about ten minutes.

Each day's set takes one game from each of three families, always in the same order: a table game, a recall game, then a judgement game.

  • Table games are Patience and Pyramid, about 4 minutes each in their daily size.
  • Recall games are Pairs and Pattern Path, about 3 minutes each.
  • Judgement games are Odd One Out and Higher or Lower, about 3 minutes each.
  • Each game uses the level you have chosen for it, Level 2 until you change it.
  • You can stop between games, and the set counts as done when the third game is finished.

The set is never compulsory. Skip it any day and play anything from the free-play shelf instead.

The 8-day rotation

With two games in each family there are 8 possible sets. The app steps through all of them in a fixed order, one a day, so every game appears exactly four times in eight days. The deals and puzzles change every day, even when the same three games come round again.

Everything on the table

Records, a game diary and settings that suit you.

Beyond the games themselves, the app keeps a quiet record of how you play and lets you set the table the way you like it. The screens below are examples.

  • Free-play shelf

    All 18 game levels in one place. Pick any game at any level, in any order, as often as you like.

  • Personal records

    Best marks for every game and level, plus the days you have played. They are never compared with anyone else's.

  • Game diary

    Every game you play is noted by date, with your score and one tap for how it felt. Add a line of your own if you wish, and print a month.

  • Undo and pause

    Take back a move in the card games, and leave any game half played to continue later.

  • Table settings

    Card size, three card backs, four-colour suits, sound, the pace of Pattern Path, an optional timer, and a default level for each game.

What's inside

The full catalogue: 6 games and 18 levels.

Every game below comes with all three levels from the first day. Open the rules of any game to see exactly how it is set up and what changes from one level to the next.

Patience

Classic seven-column patience · Table game

  1. Level 1 Open Table Draw one card at a time, with hints and undo whenever you want them.
  2. Level 2 Steady Table Still one card at a time, but passes and hints are counted.
  3. Level 3 Full Table Draw three at a time, with no hints and a short undo.
Rules and setup for Patience

Seven columns are dealt left to right with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cards, only the last card of each column face up; the 24 remaining cards form the draw pile. Four suit piles at the top are built upwards from Ace to King. In the columns, cards are built downwards in alternating colours (a red 6 on a black 7). A face-up card, or a whole run of face-up cards, can move onto a column whose last card is one rank higher and of the other colour. Only a King, or a run starting with a King, can move onto an empty column. When the last face-down card of a column is uncovered it turns face up. The game is won when all 52 cards are on the suit piles.

  • Open Table. Standard deal. Every deal is checked in advance so that a winning line exists. Draw one card at a time from the draw pile. You may go through the draw pile as many times as you like. Hints and undo are available at any moment, as often as you like.
  • Steady Table. Standard deal. Every deal is checked in advance so that a winning line exists. Draw one card at a time. You may go through the draw pile three times. You have three hints per game and can undo your last ten moves.
  • Full Table. Standard deal from a plain shuffle, so a winning line is not promised. Draw three cards at a time; only the top card of the drawn three can be played. You may go through the draw pile three times. Hints are off and you can undo your last three moves.

In the daily set: Quick deal: the four Aces are already on the suit piles and the draw pile holds 20 cards.

Pairs

Matching pairs with the cards face down · Recall game

  1. Level 1 Warm-Up Grid Six pairs in a 4 by 3 grid, with a look at the cards before they turn over.
  2. Level 2 Table Grid Ten pairs in a 5 by 4 grid, played without a first look.
  3. Level 3 Full Spread Fifteen pairs in a 6 by 5 grid, with near-matches mixed in.
Rules and setup for Pairs

The cards are laid face down in a grid. On each turn you turn over two cards. A pair is two cards of the same rank and the same colour (a red 7 and the other red 7, for instance); a matching pair stays face up. If the two cards do not match, they stay face up until your next tap and then turn back over, so there is never a race against the clock. The game is won when every pair has been found.

  • Warm-Up Grid. 12 cards in a 4 by 3 grid: six different ranks, one pair of each. Before the first turn all cards are shown face up until you tap Ready. Study the cards for as long as you like, tap Ready, then play as described. With only one pair of each rank there is only one match for every card.
  • Table Grid. 20 cards in a 5 by 4 grid: ten different ranks, one pair of each. There is no first look. Play as described, with the cards face down from the start. A turn counter keeps your total.
  • Full Spread. 30 cards in a 6 by 5 grid: eight ranks. Seven of the ranks appear as two pairs, one red and one black, and the eighth appears as a single pair. There is no first look. Play as described. Because a rank can appear in both colours, a card of the right rank but the wrong colour is not a match.

In the daily set: The level you chose, played as it is.

Pyramid

Pairs that add up to 13 · Table game

  1. Level 1 Low Peak A small five-row pyramid and as many passes as you like.
  2. Level 2 Classic Peak The full seven-row pyramid with two passes through the draw pile.
  3. Level 3 Summit Seven rows, a single pass and no pairing hints.
Rules and setup for Pyramid

The cards are laid face up in a pyramid of rows, each card overlapping the two below it. A card is free when no card overlaps it. Cards have these values: Ace 1, numbered cards their number, Jack 11, Queen 12, King 13. You remove two free cards whose values add up to 13 (a 6 and a 7, a Queen and an Ace), or a single free King. The remaining cards form a draw pile: you turn one card at a time onto a waste pile, and the top card of the waste pile can be paired with a free pyramid card, or removed on its own if it is a King. The game is won when the pyramid is cleared.

  • Low Peak. A pyramid of five rows (15 cards) and a draw pile of 15 cards, taken from the deck. Turn the draw pile one card at a time, and go through it as many times as you like. A tap on a free card shows every card it can be paired with.
  • Classic Peak. A pyramid of seven rows (28 cards) and a draw pile of 24 cards. Turn the draw pile one card at a time. You may go through it twice. Pairing hints on tap are on.
  • Summit. A pyramid of seven rows (28 cards) and a draw pile of 24 cards. Turn the draw pile one card at a time and go through it once only. Pairing hints on tap are off.

In the daily set: A five-row pyramid with the Level 1 draw pile.

Pattern Path

Repeat a growing sequence of tiles · Recall game

  1. Level 1 Four Tiles A 2 by 2 board, eight rounds and as many second chances as you need.
  2. Level 2 Six Tiles A 3 by 2 board, ten rounds and three second chances.
  3. Level 3 Nine Tiles A 3 by 3 board, twelve rounds, one second chance and a reversal at the end.
Rules and setup for Pattern Path

A board of coloured tiles is shown. Each round the board lights up a sequence of tiles, one after another, and you repeat it by tapping the tiles in the same order. Each round the sequence is one tile longer. If you tap a wrong tile you may use a second chance: the same sequence is shown again and you try once more. The pace of the lights is chosen in Settings (slow or steady). The run is complete when you finish the last round of the level.

  • Four Tiles. Four tiles in a 2 by 2 board. The first sequence has 2 tiles, and the last round has 9. There are 8 rounds. As many second chances as you need. You can ask for the sequence to be shown again before you start tapping.
  • Six Tiles. Six tiles in a 3 by 2 board. The first sequence has 3 tiles, and the last round has 12. There are 10 rounds. You have three second chances for the whole run. The sequence can be shown again before you start tapping.
  • Nine Tiles. Nine tiles in a 3 by 3 board. The first sequence has 3 tiles, and the last round has 14. There are 12 rounds. In rounds 1 to 8 you repeat the sequence in the order shown. In rounds 9 to 12 you repeat it in reverse order, last tile first, and the screen tells you so before the round starts. You have one second chance for the whole run.

In the daily set: The first six rounds of the level you chose.

Odd One Out

Spot the card that breaks the pattern · Judgement game

  1. Level 1 Plain Sight Five cards, and the rule is told to you before you answer.
  2. Level 2 Hidden Rule Six cards, and you work out the rule yourself.
  3. Level 3 Two Rules Seven cards that follow two rules at once.
Rules and setup for Odd One Out

Each puzzle shows a row of cards. All but one follow the same rule, and you tap the card that does not. Every puzzle has exactly one odd card. After each answer the rule is shown in one line, whether you were right or not. A set is eight puzzles, and your score is the number you found.

  • Plain Sight. Five cards per puzzle. The rule is one of: all the same colour, all the same suit, or all face cards. The rule is printed above the row, and you tap the card that breaks it.
  • Hidden Rule. Six cards per puzzle. The rule is one of: same colour, same suit, all even ranks, all odd ranks, all face cards, all numbered cards, or ranks in rising order from left to right. The rule is not printed. You work it out from the cards and tap the one that breaks it.
  • Two Rules. Seven cards per puzzle. The rule combines two of the attributes from Level 2, for example red and even, or the same suit and in rising order. The rule is not printed. The odd card breaks at least one of the two parts, and every other card follows both.

In the daily set: Five puzzles from the level you chose.

Higher or Lower

A calm prediction run · Judgement game

  1. Level 1 Short Run Fifteen turns, a strip of cards already seen and three colour clues.
  2. Level 2 Steady Run Twenty turns, the strip of seen cards and three passes.
  3. Level 3 Long Run Twenty-six turns, no strip of seen cards and a single pass.
Rules and setup for Higher or Lower

A shuffled deck is dealt one card at a time. A card is face up on the table; you guess whether the next card will be higher or lower, and the next card is turned over. A correct guess scores one point. A wrong guess scores nothing and the run goes on. If the next card has the same rank, the turn does not count and is not scored. Ace is the lowest card and King the highest. The run ends after the number of turns for the level, and your score is the number of correct guesses.

  • Short Run. 15 turns. A strip along the bottom shows the ranks that have already appeared. You have three colour clues per run: a clue tells you whether the next card is red or black.
  • Steady Run. 20 turns. The strip of seen ranks is shown. You have three passes per run: a pass skips the card on the table and turns a new one without a guess. Colour clues are off.
  • Long Run. 26 turns. The strip of seen ranks is hidden. You have one pass per run. Colour clues are off. You keep track of the cards yourself.

In the daily set: Twelve turns from the level you chose.

Not what you are looking for if you want

  • fast action games or anything that plays against a clock.
  • multiplayer tables, rankings or leaderboards.
  • games with bets, stakes or money of any kind: there are none.
  • a promise about what playing will do for you: the app makes none.
