Baloot Goes Digital: Building Saudi Arabia's Card Game with a Real RL-Trained AI

2026年8月18日1 次浏览来源:Dev.to阅读原文

Baloot is Saudi Arabia's national card game — 32 cards, 4 players, 2 teams, and a bidding system (Sun / Hokm) that rewards reading your opponents.

Most Baloot apps are either stuffed with ads or built around buying coins.

Arb'a Baloot takes the opposite approach: completely free, no ads, no in-app purchases.

The interesting part: a real AI Instead of hard-coded rules, the AI opponent was trained with reinforcement learning over millions of self-play rounds — the same family of techniques behind AlphaGo.

It bids Sun or Hokm like a strong human, counts cards, punishes mistakes, and works fully offline.

Features Online multiplayer with private invite-code rooms Full rule set: projects (Sira, Fifty, Hundred, Four Hundred, Baloot) and doubling up to Qahwa Automatic score counting with correct rounding Weekly tournaments with a public leaderboard Rated 5.0 on the App Store · iPhone, iPad, Mac & Vision Pro Links Website: https://baloot.kriyadh.com Full rules (Arabic): https://baloot.kriyadh.com/rules App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759184291 Source/README: https://github.com/nrdx/arb3a-baloot
