Know the goal in Sevens

Try a more deliberate round

The example and rules describe the same game you can play above. Extend the low end or high end of an open suit by one rank. Aces are low below twos; kings are the high end. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.

What you need to achieve

Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. Play every card to four suit sequences that expand outward from their sevens. Start a new round when you are ready to try again.

Step by step

  1. A standard deck is dealt to four players, thirteen cards each.
  2. The holder of 7♦ must play it first. Other suits can open with their own seven.
  3. Extend the low end or high end of an open suit by one rank. Aces are low below twos; kings are the high end.
  4. Play a legal card whenever possible. Passing is allowed only when no card fits.
  5. The first player with an empty hand wins the round.

Input guidance

Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled. The game area remains available above the explanation.

Work through an example

Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.

Where a round can go wrong

The example and rules describe the same game you can play above. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence.
