Shanghai Social – Card Game Review
Shanghai Social is a Card/Board game from Gavin Hart, first launched in 8th August 2026.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 0+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Shanghai Social Stand Out
Shanghai Social — classic contract rummy, online.
Host a table in seconds, share a room code or QR, and play with friends (or bots) from anywhere. No accounts. Pick a name and sit down.
HOW IT WORKS
• Draw from the deck or the discard
• Lay your round’s contract (books and runs)
• Buy, Call Shanghai, and race to empty your hand
• Lowest score after the contracts wins
BUILT FOR REAL TABLES
• Guest names and room codes — easy to invite
• Public lobbies or private invite-only tables
• QR join + TV view for the living-room screen
• Custom decks, rule packs, and house rules
• Turn sounds, nudge a distracted player, and table chat
• Optional Discord voice link for the table
• Pause mid-game and resume later
• Vote to end a round once everyone’s down
• Accessibility: colorblind suits, larger cards, and in-menu coach tips
Practice with bots, teach a new player, or lock in tournament rules. When it’s over, share a results card and dare them to beat you next time.
