Atout!

Why I made Atout!

My name is Florence. I grew up in Vonnas, a village in eastern France, and in my family, Belote was a way of life.

Florence

A childhood around the cards

My grandmother and my father taught me Belote and Coinche. My parents ran a bar, and the bar held card tournaments. All through my childhood I played in the village tournaments: the crowded tables, the slap of cards on the mat, the proud "Belote… rebelote!", the arguments over the last trick and the laughter right after. They are some of my happiest memories.

Far from home

Today I live far from France. What I miss isn't only the bread or the cheese: it's a good game of cards. I looked for a place to play online and couldn't find one I liked: too many ads, rules that weren't quite right, deals you had to wonder about, and never the soul of a real table.

So I built it

I'm a developer. One evening I told myself: if it doesn't exist, I'll make it. That's how Atout! was born. Artificial intelligence let me build on my own what would have taken a whole team, but the rules, the memories and the heart all come from Vonnas.

A table like the ones I grew up with

I wanted Atout! to feel like the tables at the bar: real rules, played the French way, your friends around you, and robots who each have their own character, like the regulars. No ads, and deals that are truly fair, which anyone can check. If a game here reminds you of Sunday afternoons with your family, then I've done what I set out to do.

A cosy community

My dream is for Atout! to become a cosy community of Belote and Coinche lovers, like the regulars at my parents' bar. Your ideas matter: tell me which features you'd like to see, what you enjoy and what you miss. Write to me at contact@atoutsuite.com; I read every message with pleasure.

If you'd like to help

I'm not trying to get rich with Atout!, and the game will stay free. But a server costs money, and there's so much more I want to add. If you enjoy playing here, a Premium subscription ($3.99 a month) helps me keep the site running and make it better. Every subscription truly counts, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The songs of Atout!

I also wrote songs for the game. You hear them in the app when the music is on (Settings › Music).

See you at the table,
Florence
