El Tute a Cuatro is a mobile adaptation of the classic Spanish card game, designed to deliver a fast-paced, smooth, and interactive playing experience. It faithfully follows all the traditional rules of the original game while introducing intuitive features that enhance gameplay on mobile devices.
One of the standout features is the ability to **swipe your finger along the bottom of the cards** for better visibility—making it easier than ever to manage your hand. The game begins with you as the first dealer, and serving responsibilities alternate thereafter, ensuring fair play throughout. Your in-game partner is controlled by the system and will be positioned at the top of the screen, working alongside you to outplay your opponents.
A unique mechanic of El Tute a Cuatro is that **songs (cantos) can only be declared during the first round**, clearly indicated by a blinking button on the game table. This adds strategic depth right from the start, encouraging players to plan their moves carefully. The AI plays automatically, making decisions based on a set of priorities such as winning tricks, preventing opponents from completing songs, and managing card draws efficiently.
Customization options are available through the in-game menu, allowing you to tailor your experience. You can enable **automatic card sorting**, choose to highlight playable cards, and toggle background music on or off—giving you full control over how you play.
Another convenient feature is the **auto-save function**. Every match is saved automatically, and you can resume your last game using the "Resume" button. However, please note that starting a new game will overwrite the previous save data.
Keep in mind that the AI is programmed to play its best possible move at all times—but it’s completely neutral. It doesn’t favor winning or losing; it simply plays logically and fairly every time.
