Follow these playing steps

- The first player with an empty hand wins the round.
Keyboard and screen controls
Take a moment to check the current turn. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled.
A closer look at one example
Keep the goal in view while choosing a move. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table.
Notice this detail
Read the position before choosing your next action. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence.
