A fast shedding card game with a full 108-card deck: match the color or number, hit rivals with Block, Flip and +2 cards, change color with Rainbow wilds, and call One! before you go out. Play against 1 to 3 animal opponents with their own personalities on Easy, Normal or Hard. Optional house rules add draw-until-playable, +2/+4 stacking and 7-0 hand swaps. First to 500 points wins the match.
How to play
Play a card that matches the top card's color, number or symbol, or play a Rainbow wild and pick the next color. If you can't play, draw a card. Block skips the next player, Flip reverses the direction, and +2 and Rainbow +4 make the next player draw. Press One! when you have one card left: if a rival catches you first, you draw 2. Empty your hand to score the cards left in everyone else's hands. The first player to 500 points wins.
Controls
Tap or drag a glowing card onto the pile to play it. Tap the deck or the Draw button to draw, and Keep to hold a card you just drew. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to pick a card, Enter to play, D to draw, P to keep and pass, O to call One! or catch a rival, 1-4 to choose a wild color, and Esc for the menu.
Tips and strategy
- When a rival is down to one or two cards, shed wilds (50 points) and action cards (20 points) first, since the winner scores what you hold.
- Press One! while holding two cards on your turn; if a rival catches you at one card without calling, you draw 2.
- In a two-player game, Flip works like Block and gives you another turn right away.
- With the stacking rule on, answer a +2 with another +2 or a Rainbow +4 to push the whole pile to the next player.
- Hard rivals always call One! and catch a missed call most of the time, so never skip the call on Hard.
