Gonga is a digital adaptation of a card game that will be very familiar to fans of Rummy or Gin, but with its own specific regional twists. It’s based on a traditional Cypriot game and focuses on getting rid of all your cards by forming sets and runs. It’s the kind of game that’s easy to pick up but takes a while to truly master, especially when you start playing against the expert-level AI.
One of the best things about this app is the complete lack of advertisements and in-app purchases. It’s a pure, clean experience which is becoming increasingly rare on the App Store. The UI is simple and functional, focusing entirely on the cards and the gameplay. It’s a great choice for card game enthusiasts looking for a solid, distraction-free version of a classic.

Pay close attention to the cards your opponents are picking up from the discard pile. This gives you a clue as to what sets they are building and which cards you should avoid discarding.
Jokers are incredibly powerful and can represent any card. Save them for the end of the round to finish a difficult set and surprise your opponents with a 'Gonga'!
The current version focuses on single-player play against AI with online leaderboards via Game Center.
