Board

You have a stock pile of cards, 4 discard piles of cards, and a hand of 5 cards. As does the computer (top portion). There are 4 shared build piles and a single draw pile.

Objective

The objective is to be the first player to play all the cards in your stock pile.

Gameplay

Players take turns trying to build sequences of cards from 1-12 in the 4 build piles by moving cards from your stock pile, one of the discard piles, or your hand.

Discarding

When no moves are possible in your turn, discard a card from your hand to one of 4 discard piles. If you play all 5 cards in your hand, you will be drawn another 5 immediately. Discard piles do not require a sequence like the build piles require.

You can long-press or long-click one of your discard piles to reveal the card underneath the top card (if there is one).

Wilds

W cards are wild. A wild card can take any value. Placing a W atop a 8 on one of the build piles effectively makes the W take the value 9.

Controls

Moving a card

To move a card, select the card and then select the target card pile. To deselect a selected card, select the card again. On desktop browsers, you can also drag and drop the cards.

Toggle Help

Help is available in game. Select the "Help" button in the top-left to toggle.

Starting a new game

Reload the page or select the "New" button in the top-right.

Caveats

A new game is started on load. You cannot continue old games if you close your browser window/tab.

The CPU opponent employs very little strategy and is thus fairly easy to beat most of time.
