HOW TO PLAY

Follow your heart.
And the numbers.

  1. Everyone gets 10 random cards, face-down, in slots labeled A, 2, 3, …, 10. Ace replaces 1.
  2. On your turn, draw from the draw pile or the top discard.
  3. Place an Ace or number in its matching slot. The face-down card underneath becomes the card in your hand. Keep the chain going.
  4. Jack is a wildcard. Choose any face-down slot for it. It counts as the matching card. Later, that slot’s real card can replace the Jack, freeing the Jack to fill another face-down slot.
  5. Queen and King end your turn. They are automatically discarded. An unusable duplicate also ends your turn.
  6. The first player to fill all ten slots from Ace to 10, with Jacks allowed as substitutes, wins immediately.

There are 4, 5, or 6 copies of every rank A–10, J, Q, K for 2, 3, or 4 players: 52, 65, or 78 cards. If the draw pile runs out, the discards are shuffled into a new draw pile, keeping the top discard in place.

In same-device mode, the table follows the active player. Online and against the computer, your ten slots stay in front of you. Tap either pile to draw, then tap the highlighted slot, tap the card in your hand, or drag it onto a valid slot. For a Jack, choose any glowing face-down slot. The computer takes a useful discard when available, otherwise draws from the deck, and plays its swap chain automatically. It cannot peek at face-down cards. The starting player rotates each round.
