What counts as success
A careful first move helps you understand the round. Play every card to four suit sequences that expand outward from their sevens. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
How to use the controls
The board gives you the information needed for the next action. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
A closer look at one example
Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table. Start a new round when you are ready to try again.
An important reminder
Check the rule below as you play. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence. Start a new round when you are ready to try again.
