About
Nostrump is a four-player partnership trick-taking game. North–South sit across from East–West. Each player receives 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck. A match is a tug-of-war to the target score — usually 100. Winning hands pull points from the other side, so only one team holds the lead at a time.
Many people have real skill that never gets highlighted. This app is here to bring those talents onto the table — a sit-and-play family game for teenagers and elders together. It is built first for the Havyaka community, and equally open to other communities all over the world. Same calling, same tricks, same honour of a well-played hand.
Clear positioning
Nostrump is a skill-based, mind-relaxation card entertainment platform. Players play a traditional skill-oriented card game for entertainment, mental engagement, and leisure.
What we charge for
We only collect a platform / subscription fee for access to the entertainment service — for example 1-day, 1-month, 6-month, or 1-year access — with usage as per the subscribed plan.
Separate, optional
Sponsors help keep the table open. In return they receive unlimited utilisation of the app for 1 year, 2 years, or lifetime, based on the Terms & Conditions — plus an honour / privilege pass to play. We also showcase their business or title in the app. Sponsorship is not a stake, bet, or investment-return product.

In the app

Follow divisions and series scores after each match.
We showcase sponsors’ businesses or titles in the app. They also receive an honour / privilege pass to play, with unlimited utilisation for 1 year, 2 years, or lifetime as per T&C.
Honour
The point of sponsorship is not a return on money. Many people have skill that is never shown as it deserves. We want this app to highlight those talents. Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Premier partners receive unlimited utilisation for 1 year, 2 years, or lifetime, based on the Terms & Conditions. We showcase their business or title in the app, and they play with an honour / privilege pass. Sponsorship is not a bet, a stake, or an investment return.
