Get it onGoogle PlayHow to play
Three steps, endless levels
Each colour has a pile
Every pile wants the next number of its own colour.
Tap the card that fits
Play it from your hand onto its pile. Fast plays and combos score more.
Nothing fits? New hand
Ask for a new hand and keep going until every pile is complete.
New rules every chapter
One new twist at a time
Each rule comes with a short tip the first time you meet it, and when the rules change, the game shows you what is new before you play.
Order
When several cards fit, the smallest goes first.
Stars
A star that fits must be played before anything else.
Moons
A moon has to wait for every other card.
Counting down
Some levels run backwards, from the top number to 1.
Double cards
One card covers two numbers in a row.
Frozen piles
A frozen pile waits until its key pile shows the number on the ice.
Locks
A locked card opens once you play its key colour in the same hand.
Odd piles
One pile counts in twos: 1, 3, 5 and so on.
Bosses
Boss levels: only two lives, a faster clock or a surprise rule.
