Thunee, named after the Tamil word for water, is a beloved trick-taking card game that originated in Durban, South Africa. This engaging game is derived from the popular Indian and Sri Lankan game, 304. Whether you choose to play in Single Player or Multiplayer mode, Thunee offers an unparalleled gaming experience that simulates the excitement of the real game. For the best experience and to upload or update your scores, an online connection is essential.
In Multiplayer mode, you have the option to invite a friend to be your partner or challenge them to a game. Inviting others is seamless with push notifications or WhatsApp messages. The app keeps track of your games with friends, storing results and stats on a dedicated statistics page, perfect for bragging about who's the top player in your circle.
For beginners, the Easy difficulty setting provides assistance and narration during play, making it easier to learn the game. Thunee's app is highly customizable through its settings/options, allowing you to tailor the game to your preferred style of play. You can adjust various options such as:
- Choosing between Hard, Medium, or Easy difficulty levels.
- Enabling score assistance for Medium and Easy modes, which provides real-time trick/hand values and scores.
- Setting when to be prompted to bid, either all the time or only when holding three or more cards of the same suit or J9.
- Opting for early win or loss notifications if you or your opponents exceed the required score (enabled by default).
- Allowing early victory claims, including Double and Khanuck claims.
- Adjusting the duration to clear a trick (hand), with the option to click and clear it manually even if a time is set (default is 1 second).
- Including vocal sounds for bidding, calling Jodhi, and more.
- Customizing the game's appearance by changing the background or selecting your own color with a vignette effect, and choosing different card packs.
- Opting to include Royals, where the value of cards is reversed (e.g., Queens become Jacks, Kings become Nines).
