The game

Autobus is a card game I grew up playing with my family in the Czech Republic. Everyone there knows it. Nobody had ever made a digital version, so I did.

One goal: empty your main pile before the others do. The four piles in the middle build up from Ace to King and suits don't matter, so on your turn you chain as many cards as you can — from your hand, from your four laying spots, from the top of your main pile. None of that ends your turn.

What ends it is laying a card from your hand into one of those spots. And when none of them will take it, the card goes under your main pile instead — the pile you are trying to empty just got bigger. That is the whole game: how long you can keep going before you have to put something down.

Play solo against bots, or online with two to four people. Three deck themes, eleven languages, and a free demo.

Built in Godot 4.6 by one person. Coming soon to Steam.
