• New icon: the Morra hand, with the emblems of Sardinia and Corsica.
Shout the total, throw your fingers. The ancient Morra hand duel, on phone.
Two hands, two numbers shouted at the very same instant — and only one of you can be right. La Mourra brings the age-old hand duel of Morra to your phone. Both players throw out a hand at the same moment, one to five fingers, and call out loud the total they expect from the two hands together. Call it exactly right while your opponent misses, and the point is yours. If you both find it, or neither does, nothing is scored and the next round starts straight away. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Two players, one phone — pass the device back and forth. A cover screen keeps each move secret until the reveal. • Against the computer — a quick solo opponent that plays the way a real player does: it throws its hand, then bets on yours. THE RHYTHM OF THE REAL GAME A countdown of "3, 2, 1…" with sound and vibration, both hands shaking together, then MOURRA! — the fists open on the fingers played and the two calls pop up side by side. There is no confirm button: you compose your move while the countdown runs, exactly as you throw hand and number together at the table. And you can only call a total your own hand can still reach — no shouting ten behind a single finger. A SHOUT WITH A VOICE The "Murra!" is spoken out loud by your phone, with a man's or a woman's voice, your choice. It borrows an Italian voice, by far the closest there is to Sardinian and Corsican — Android offers neither. PICK YOUR COLOURS Choose your name and your flag among eighteen Morra lands: Sardinia, Corsica, the County of Nice, Provence, the Aosta Valley, Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli, Istria, Dalmatia, Catalonia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands and more. YOUR GAME, YOUR RULES Set the target score from 3 to 16 points — 16 is the traditional Sardinian match — and the countdown from 2 to 5 seconds. Every finished game is kept in a history with scores, winner and date. A GAME WITH A PAST Morra is one of the oldest hand games in the world, with traces reaching back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. It was long the game of shepherds and woodcutters in mountain inns, it has been listed as French intangible cultural heritage since 2012, and it still fills whole tournaments in Sardinia. FREE, WITH ONE AD BETWEEN GAMES La Mourra is free. A single full-screen ad appears between games — never during a round, never between rounds. One monthly subscription removes them all, and can be cancelled at any time from Google Play. Nothing to sign in to, no account to create. The game itself is played entirely offline: the network is used only for the ad, the consent form and the subscription. Your settings and history stay on your device and are backed up through the Google account already on it. Available in more than sixty languages.
