The classic shedding game
Everyone gets cards (7 with two players, 5 with more) and one card is turned up. On your turn, play a card of the same suit or the same rank as the top card. Eights are wild: play one at any time and choose the next suit. If you can’t play, draw a card – if it fits, you may play it.
The first player with an empty hand wins. Prefer the German style? Switch to Mau-Mau rules: the Jack is the wild card, a 7 makes the next player draw two, and an 8 skips the next player.
How to use
- Tap a highlighted card to play it.
- Playing a wild card? Choose the new suit.
