Olsen, a Norwegian card game
My two young kids love card games, so I started making a simple Crazy Eights style game for us to play around with. That turned into Olsen, which is based on the Norwegian card game of the same name.
The rules are easy to pick up. You match suit or rank, and 8s are wild, so you can use them to choose the next suit. If you cannot play, you draw up to three cards before your turn passes. The goal is just to empty your hand first.
I wanted it to feel calm and easy to come back to, especially for short rounds. So I kept it offline, added AI opponents, and made sure it was simple to start a game without much setup. Also added themes, they thought the original one was a bit boring.
It is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. I originally made it with my kids in mind, but I thought other people who like traditional card games might enjoy it too.
