La Mourra

The Morra hand game

Shout the total. Throw your fingers.

Two hands, two numbers called 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: two players on one phone, or you against the computer.

Free, with a single ad between games, never during a round. A monthly subscription through Google Play removes the ads.

Two players, or you against the computer The reveal: fingers and calls side by side

How it works

  1. Pick your colours

    Your name, your flag among eighteen Morra lands, the target score and the length of the countdown.

  2. Throw and call

    During the countdown, choose how many fingers you throw and the total you call for both hands together.

  3. Mourra!

    The hands open and both calls appear side by side. Find the exact total while your opponent misses, and the point is yours.

The rhythm of the real game

Two players, one phone

Pass the phone 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.

3, 2, 1… Mourra!

A countdown with sound and vibration, both hands shaking together, and no confirm button: you compose your move while the countdown runs. You can only call a total your own hand can still reach.

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.

Eighteen flags

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

A target score from 3 to 16 points (16 is the traditional Sardinian match), a countdown from 2 to 5 seconds, and every finished game kept in a history with the scores, the winner and the date.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Morra?

Both players show one to five fingers at the same moment and call the total of both hands. If only one of them calls the exact total, that player wins the point. If both are right, or both are wrong, nobody scores.

Can I play alone?

Yes. Play against the computer, or with a friend on the same phone.

Do I need an internet connection?

No, the game itself plays entirely offline. The network is only used for the ads, the consent form and the subscription.

Are there ads?

One full-screen ad between games, never during a round and never between rounds. A monthly subscription through Google Play removes them all and can be cancelled at any time.

Where does Morra come from?

It is one of the oldest hand games in the world, with traces reaching back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. It has been listed as French intangible cultural heritage since 2012, and it still fills whole tournaments in Sardinia.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign in to: your settings and your history stay on your phone, backed up with the Google account already on it.

Can I change the rules of the game?

Yes. Choose the target score from 3 to 16 points, 16 being the traditional Sardinian match, and the length of the countdown from 2 to 5 seconds.
