LERPA

Lerpa's game is now available for testing.
This game introduces a new concept, credits, which will be played on the table depending on the number of tricks won.
Credits are offered daily to all users up to a certain limit.
It is also possible to get credits by watching ads.
It is not at all possible to buy credits using real money or convert credits to cash or goods.


RANKING

A new type of ranking by efficiency was created.
Only users who have played a certain number of games are eligible:
- Current month: minimum 50 games per day (for example, on the 9th the player must have at least 450 games);
- Previous months and global: minimum 1400 games (28 days x 50 games);


TABLES

The last trick now has a reduced time limit of 3 seconds in order to speed up the end of the game. Even if this play is automatic, it does not count towards expulsion.
New animation at the end of the trick where cards are collected for the player who won it.
Minor corrections in play times.

TABLES

New, more appealing and more informative table view modes.


TOURNAMENTS

Whenever a player is not selected to participate in a certain tournament due to lack of a seat, he will automatically be enrolled in a similar tournament.

PERSONAL NOTES

New option "Personal notes" that allows the creation of loose and private notes about any user.


PREMIUM

In the option "Send Premium" the total amount of transferable days is now displayed.


HEARTS

Fixed an issue preventing hearts from being drawn in some cases, even after hearts have already been played.

AWARDS

Two new awards were created in the Sueca game: 42 points in one move and 43 points in one move.
To win one of these awards, the number of trick points must correspond exactly to the number of the award points.


TEAMS

On May 22, 2021, the enrollment limit per team was increased to 20 (not to be confused with the limit of members of a team that remains at 10 elements).
This means that in a month it is possible to add new members 20 times, but always keeping the limit of 10 elements registered at the same time.
By mistake this information was not disclosed at the time and so we are doing it now.

BOT



HEARTS

From the 1st of September the score of the Hearts game will be adjusted to also assign RISCOS to the 2nd and 3rd placed, who will receive in RISCOS the difference between the hearts of the player who reaches the limit and their hearts.

Example of scoring at the end of the match:
Player 1 - 101 hearts, discounts 40 RISCOS (101 - 61) -> not changed
Player 2 - 90 hearts, wins 11 RISCOS (101 - 90) -> NEW
Player 3 - 80 hearts, wins 22 RISCOS (101 - 80) -> NEW
Player 4 - 61 hearts, wins 88 RISCOS (40 + 29 + 19) -> not changed

HEARTS

The Hearts game has been modified so that, from August 1st at 00:00, a match will only end when a player has reached 100 hearts.
The winner will be the one who received the fewest hearts in the end. In case of a tie, the match continues until only one player has the least number of hearts.
The winner will receive RISCOS as the difference between their hearts and the other players' hearts. Losers will have RISCOS on the difference between their hearts and the winner's.

Example of scoring at the end of the match:
Player 1 - 101 hearts, discounts 40 RISCOS (101 - 61)
Player 2 - 90 hearts, discounts 29 RISCOS (90 - 61)
Player 3 - 80 hearts, discounts 19 RISCOS (80 - 61)
Player 4 - 61 hearts, wins 88 RISCOS (40 + 29 + 19)

TEAMS

New option in the team profile to view the member history.


TABLES

New option when creating a table that allows different players with the same IP address, thus allowing playing with friends and family who share the same internet connection. The games played at these tables do not count towards the ranking.

GAMES

The rule that requires a player to wait 30 seconds when he leaves a table no longer applies to private tables.
Minor fixes in game replay.

GAMES

The feature that allows you to see the replay of a game is now available.
You can watch the replay of a game by opening a player's profile and clicking on the respective game in the History or RISCOS tab.


MESSAGES

Private messages between players who are at the same game table or participating in the same tournament are now blocked.

TOURNAMENTS

Some improvements have been made to the tournament registration system:
- Possibility to invite a partner after being registered alone (it is not allowed to invite another user until the first invitation is answered, in this case when the invitation is not answered and if they want to invite another friend, you must cancel the registration);
- When the invited partner refuses the invitation or leaves the site, an alert is displayed, thus allowing to quickly invite another friend without losing the registration;
- Fixed the invitation window so that it does not disappear automatically if using the keyboard or mouse in another area of ​​the site.


FRIENDS AND BLOCKS

In the FRIENDS option, now renamed to FRIENDS AND BLOCKS, an ALL FRIENDS tab has been added which displays the complete list of friends even if they are offline.
A complete list of blocked users is also available (remember that there is a limit of 500 blocks per user).


TEAMS

In order to make the competition between teams more fair, some rules were created:
- Each team has a maximum of 10 registrations per month, once this limit is exceeded, new members can only be accepted in the next month;
- An element that leaves a team can only return to the same team after 30 days.

We are monitoring the teams activity and if necessary we will add more rules to ensure the integrity of the competition.

ABANDONS

In order to make the treatment of ongoing game abandons fairer, all users now have a tolerance of 2 daily abandons that will not count towards the score.
As of the 3rd game abandon, the user will be penalized according to the rule previously established:
- Sueca: -10 RISCOS
- Bisca: -10 RISCOS
- Hearts: -10 RISCOS
- Up and Down: -100 RISCOS
- Dominoes: -10 RISCOS

Various situations of users who repeatedly left the table and rejoined were detected, spoiling the gameplay of the other players.
As of today, whenever a user leaves a table they will have to wait 30 seconds until they can rejoin the same table.


TOURNAMENTS

Until today, the partner blocking feature in Sueca tournaments has been suspended because it was being used incorrectly and spoiling the gameplay of the other participants.

Today we launched a new registration format for tournaments in which complete-only doubles will be considered in order of registration.
The double is only considered complete if registration of both players is confirmed.
Participants who sign up without a partner will automatically be matched with other users in the same situation, as long as they are not blocked from each other.

NEW VERSION

We created a short explanatory video to support you in migrating to the new version.

Click here to watch.


TOURNAMENTS and BLOCKS

We recently suspended the partner blocking feature in Sueca tournaments because it was being used incorrectly and spoiling the gameplay of the other participants.

We are working on a new tournament registration format in which full doubles will be considered in order of registration.

As soon as the new format is available, we will reactivate the partner suspension feature in tournaments.


OLD VERSION

The old version will be permanently disabled once the new tournament registration format is implemented.


The Suecalandia team wishes you a Happy New Year!

Have fun.

NEW VERSION

As of today, a new screen will appear at startup of the mobile application that allows access to the new version that we have been developing in recent months.

In browser access you can access the new version by clicking on the NOVA VERSÃO menu (only PT, multilanguage coming soon...).

Please note that this new version is still under development and some features may not be available or work as expected.

Any anomaly you find, please send a message to our support via the Contact menu or by email to [email protected].

Have fun.

TOURNAMENTS

Due to higher usage, we increased again the availability of tournaments for 8 teams.


FREE GAME TABLES

The voting options for KICK, BAN, RESET TABLE and CHANGE PLACES can only be initiated by PREMIUM users. Once started, all players at the table will be able to participate in the vote.


PROFILE

All users with a free account can now change their username in the VIEW MY PROFILE option, subject to the rules previously established.


PRIVATE MESSAGES

In order to send a private message to another user you must first add him/her as a friend.

TOURNAMENTS

Due to higher usage, we increased the availability of tournaments for 4 teams and 8 teams.


UP&DOWN

Improvements on the information provided during the card exchange phase.

CARD DISTRIBUTION

Following some complaints received by free and PREMIUM users regarding the distribution of cards, we found important to disclose details about how this process works.
                For this purpose, we created a dedicated page with more information and the possibility of simulating the shuffling process. Click here.

TABLES

The option "Join first available" has been optimized and opens the table with most players.

TEAMS

EXPERIMENTAL: Permanent chat rooms for all teams.
Team's administrator and managers have permission to kick users on the chat room.
Users that aren't members of the team may be invited to join the room by a team member.

TEAMS

From today all teams with more than 10 players won't score due to the new limit.
All team managers must ensure that their teams have 10 or less members.


SCORE

From today all losses are accounted for with negative RISCOS.
This ensures that scoring is fairer to everyone, as the old system benefited those who played the most regardless of game quality.


TOURNMENTS

By the end of 2019 only the winning team received additional RISCOS for winning the tournament.              From today onwards teams that qualify to the next stages will also receive RISCOS.
             In 4-team (Normal) tournaments, all teams that qualify to the final will receive 4 RISCOS and the winning team will receive 4 more RISCOS.              We thus have 8 RISCOS in total for the winning team and 4 RISCOS for the 2nd placed team.
             In 8-Team (Grand) tournaments, all teams that qualify to the semi-final receive 8 RISCOS, teams that qualify to the final receive an additional 8 RISCOS and the winning team receives 8 more RISCOS.
             So we have 24 RISCOS for the winning team, 16 RISCOS for the 2nd placed team and 8 RISCOS for the 3rd and 4th placed teams.

TEAMS

In order to increase team competitiveness, from January 1st, 2020 teams will be limited to 10 players.
Each team administrator must control and manage the number of elements. Suecalandia will allow teams with more than 10 players, but teams in this situation will not score.


SCORE

We have found that the current scoring system benefits those who play the most and in order to make the score fairer for everyone, from 1 January 2020 we will reactivate the RISCOS deduction in the event of a loss.
That is, in a normal Sueca game, winners win 1 RISCO and losers are penalized by -1 RISCO.
However the score will never go below 0 as it did before.


More news in the coming months, stay tuned.
