How to use the controls
Check the rule below as you play. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
Work through an example
Check the rule below as you play. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table.
Pay attention to this rule
Take a moment to check the current turn. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence.
