Tutorial
How to play
Shed every card in your hand. Match the discard pile by suit or rank. First player with an empty hand wins.
- 1 Deal
2–3 players get 7 cards; 4–6 players get 5. One card flips face-up as the starter. Play goes around the table.
- 2 On your turn
In the center of the table: a face-down draw pile and a face-up discard. Play a card that matches the discard’s suit or rank onto that community pile — or tap the draw pile if you can’t (or won’t) play. A legal draw can go straight onto the discard.
- 3 Eights are wild
Any 8 can be played on anything. After you drop an 8, you call the suit everyone must follow next (♣ ♦ ♥ ♠).
- 4 Win
Empty your hand first and you win. Everyone else is ranked by leftover cards (high face cards and eights hurt more in the scoreboard).
Strategy tips
- Save eights for emergencies — they’re your only free escape when stuck on a bad suit. Don’t burn them early unless you need to dump a huge hand.
- Call your long suit — after an 8, name the suit you hold most of so you can keep shedding next turns.
- Dump high cards first when you have a choice — face cards score heavy if you’re stuck holding them at the end.
- Watch hand counts — if someone is down to 1–2 cards, force a suit change with an 8 or block their rank if you can.
- Draw with a plan — drawing isn’t only for “no legal play.” Sometimes you pass on a weak play to fish for a better dump or an eight.
- Track the active suit chip in the center of the table so you don’t misplay after someone else called wild.
