Core
Draw, meld, discard. Choose Solo vs Bots or Pass-and-Play from settings. In pass-and-play, the hand is hidden between turns so players can pass the phone/tablet.
Melds
Sets are same rank. Runs are same suit in order. Minimum 3 cards. Jokers and 2s are wild. Wilds cannot outnumber natural cards.
Bluff BSs
Select 3+ cards, choose Meld Down, then declare set or run. Bots may call. If the cards match your claim, you gain +25. If not, you lose -25 and take the cards back.
Add to Meld
Click one of your melds to select it, then select cards from your hand and tap Add to Meld. For runs, natural cards must match the suit and extend the run; wilds can extend the run. You can view your own face-down melds by clicking them.
Manual Arrange
Drag cards in your hand to rearrange them. You can also select one card and use Move Left or Move Right as a fallback. Sort will reset the hand back to suit and number order.
Going Out
Standard rule: with 11 or 13 cards, you need at least one set, one run, and one successful face-down meld. With 7 cards, you need one set OR one run, plus one successful face-down meld. This can be turned off in settings for easier testing.
Overwatch Call
If enabled, your first wrong call each hand has no penalty.
Pass-and-Play
Enter 2–6 names separated by commas. After each discard, the device asks to be passed to the next player before revealing their hand.
