About Omi

Omi is a fast and friendly trick-taking card game for four players, played in two teams. If you know Whist or Bridge, you will feel at home: your partner sits across from you, and together you try to win the most tricks.

Press Play and you are seated at a table straight away. A bright 3D card table, smooth card animations and clear timers make every hand easy to follow, whether you are new to card games or a seasoned player.

How to play Omi

  1. Omi uses 32 cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8 and 7 of each suit. The Ace is the highest card.
  2. Each player gets 4 cards. The player on the dealer's right looks at them and names the trump suit. Then everyone gets 4 more cards.
  3. The trump caller plays the first card. Everyone must follow the same suit if they can. If you can't, you may play a trump or any other card.
  4. The highest trump wins the trick. If no trump is played, the highest card of the suit that was led wins. The winner leads the next trick.
  5. The team that wins 5 or more of the 8 tricks wins the round. Winning all 8 tricks is called a kapothi. A match is 5 rounds, and the team that wins more rounds wins the match.
