It's the perfect coffee-break game—easy to learn, but with a surprising amount of strategic depth.

What is Santase (Sixty-Six)?

Santase is a fast-paced, trick-taking card game for two players. Your objective is to be the first to score 66 points in a round by winning tricks containing valuable cards (like Aces and Tens). Declare "marriages" (King & Queen pairs) to score crucial bonus points and use tactical plays like closing the stock to outmaneuver your opponent and race to victory!

About The Project

Deluxe Santase was created as a passion project to build a definitive, accessible, and free version of one of my favorite classic card games. I focused on creating a smart AI and a truly helpful learning tool so that anyone could come to appreciate the strategy of Sixty-Six. I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did building it!
