Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of Polar Pounce, a new free card game for iPhone and iPad.

The easiest way to explain it is solitaire if everyone played at the same time and raced each other.

It was inspired by the classic game Pounce/Nerts, although a lot of people seem to know it by different names like Peanuts or Racing Demon. You do not need to know that game to jump in.

I built it because my family has played it at game nights for years and I wanted a mobile version that felt good to play.

Rounds usually take 2 to 5 minutes, and you can play with friends in private rooms, practice against bots, or play offline.

The full core game is free for both solo and multiplayer. Monetization is limited to optional rewarded ads and cosmetic purchases like card backs and table themes. Power-ups are only available in solo play against bots, so multiplayer stays fair and skill-based.

I’m also working on expanded local multiplayer over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.

I’d love honest feedback, and I’d also be curious what people here grew up calling this game.
