Playing a round
- Whoever holds 3♦ leads the first hand.
- On your turn, beat the last hand with a higher hand of the same size, or pass.
- When everyone passes, the last player to lay cards starts a fresh hand of any type.
- First to empty their hand wins the round.
Points mode
- Each card left in hand = 1 point (lower is better).
- Penalty multiplier: 10–12 cards ×2, 13 cards ×3.
- The player who emptied their hand scores 0.
- Lowest total wins. Optional target: the first to reach it loses.
Winner takes all
- Still enter everyone’s cards left.
- The winner (0 cards) collects the sum of the others’ leftover cards as points; each loser loses points equal to their own cards.
- Highest total wins; each round nets to zero.
Wager
Set a value per point to see who pays whom. Settlement follows the score difference (Points) or points won/lost (Winner takes all).
Tips
- Enter three players’ cards and the fourth is set as the winner automatically.
- Keyboard: number keys set the highlighted player, ←/→ move between players, W = winner, Enter = add round.
- Quick setups (in the ⚙ settings) apply a scoring mode + target in one tap.
- Only one device can enter a round at a time — others are locked until you finish.
