What the game asks you to do
Check the rule below as you play. Play every card to four suit sequences that expand outward from their sevens.
The order of play
- A standard deck is dealt to four players, thirteen cards each.
- The holder of 7♦ must play it first. Other suits can open with their own seven.
- Extend the low end or high end of an open suit by one rank. Aces are low below twos; kings are the high end.
- Play a legal card whenever possible. Passing is allowed only when no card fits.
- The first player with an empty hand wins the round.
Input guidance
A careful first move helps you understand the round. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled. The game area remains available above the explanation.
A useful example
After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table. The game area remains available above the explanation.
Keep this in mind
Take a moment to check the current turn. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence.
