The card game families know, played with one ordinary deck against one, two or three computers. Match the top card of the pile by suit or by rank. An eight plays on anything, and whoever plays it names the next suit, which stays large on the pile until someone plays on it. First to empty their hand wins.

Seven cards each against one computer, five each against two or three, and you play first. You can draw a card whenever you like, and you have to when nothing plays; if the card you draw plays, play it or keep it. When the draw pile runs out, the cards already played are shuffled into a new pile, once. After that, if a full round passes with nobody able to play or draw, the fewest cards wins, and equal fewest share it, so every game ends.

Cards that play lift in your hand before you touch anything, and the rest dim. A card that doesn't play wiggles, and the top of the pile lights. Play an eight and the four suits open, with the suit you hold most of ringed in gold.

The shuffle is fair, and the computers can't see your cards. They decide from what anyone at the table could see: their own cards, the pile, how many cards each player holds, and which suits each player has drawn on. They play a little sharper after you win and gentler after you lose. You can give yourself and the computers names, and they are forgotten when the page closes.

No ads, no account, and nothing is stored on your device.


HOW TO PLAY

Tap the table, or Tap here to play, to sit down: you're at the bottom, and you play first. Before you sit down, tap a computer's × to take it away, or Tap to add at an empty seat. Tap a lifted card to play it. After tapping an eight, tap a suit to name it, or tap the table outside the choice to keep the eight. Tap the draw pile to draw; if the card you drew plays, tap it, or tap Keep it. Names, at the bottom right, names you and the computers. After a game, tap Play again, or Computers 1 2 3 to change the table.

With a mouse, click the same way. On a keyboard, Enter sits down, the arrow keys move a ring along your hand, and Enter plays the card it is on (the first press shows the ring). D draws and K keeps a drawn card. After an eight, 1 to 4 name spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds, and Escape keeps the eight. N opens the names.
