Bad Cards

Free on your phone

The dirty card game app you do not have to install

Bad Cards is a dirty card game that runs on your phone without an app store. Open bad.cards in the phone browser, or start it inside the Discord app, and you are playing. No download, no updates, nothing on your home screen for your mother to ask about.

No download. Only the host needs an account.

Why there is no download

Everyone in a game has to be able to join in seconds. An app means one person installing, one person out of storage and one person who refuses. A link and a six-letter code work on every phone, laptop and tablet the moment someone types them.

Playing from your phone

  1. Open bad.cards in Safari, Chrome or any phone browser.
  2. The host starts a game. Everyone else types the six-letter code on bad.cards.
  3. Your hand stays on your screen, so nobody sees your cards.
  4. Want it on your home screen? Use Add to Home Screen in the browser menu.

The Zodiac Killer.

Real cards from the free Bad Cards Base Pack. The cards fit the screen, and so does the shame.

Inside the Discord app

Bad Cards is also a Discord Activity. Start it in a voice channel and everyone plays inside the Discord app they already have, on desktop or phone. Discord does not allow purchases in its phone apps, so packs bought on bad.cards show up there after you sign in with Discord.

How dirty the app gets

As dirty as the host allows. The rating goes up to NC-17, which is adults only, and players under 18 only get cards rated PG-13 or lower.

Big groups on small screens

Up to sixteen people fit in one game, each holding their own hand on their own phone. The prompt, the answers and the scores show up on every screen at once, so nobody has to crowd around one phone or pass it down the sofa.
