How people play
Rounds take a few minutes with up to six players. Families play it on one device in Local mode, while online rooms mix friends and computer players. Scoring carries over to 100, so each round matters.
Common challenges
- Using an 8 too earlyA wild 8 is your escape when you are stuck. Using it when you had a normal match wastes it.
- Naming the wrong suitName the suit you hold the most of, not the one you happen to be looking at.
- Getting caught with high cardsAn unplayed 8 costs 50 points when someone else goes out.
What strong play proves
