Matatu is a familiar feeling card game from Kola Studios, where you are asked to play all your cards before your opponent does. In the traditional 'run/suit' style, you can play a card that has the same suit or the same number as the card at the top of the pile. It's a smooth implementation of the concept, and perfect for sitting around in the sunny weather.

There are some twists as you would expect - the Ace allows you to change the suit, any 'two' forces your opponent to play a two or pick up two cards, the 'eight' and 'Jack' cards give you an extra turn, and if you match the upturned 'cutter' suit with the 'seven of cutter' then the game comes to an immediate end, and whoever has the least pips in their hand is the winner.

Matatu is already available for Android and iOS (and as a Facebook game). This is the first release, and is for a single player only, but Kola are looking to expand on that in the future.

You can pick up Matatu as a free download from our App Directory today.
