Play Rummy 500Crazy Eights
Match the suit or the rank, play an 8 to change the suit, and go out before Anne.
Play Crazy EightsWhich game should you play?
- For four players, each on their own, play Hearts: avoid taking hearts and the Queen of spades, or take them all.
- If you like playing with a partner, try Spades, where you and Ben bid the tricks you'll win together, Euchre, a quicker game where you choose trumps and the Jacks are the top cards, or Canasta, where you and Ben build seven-card melds called canastas.
- For a game between two, play Cribbage, pegging your way round the board to 121, or Gin Rummy, collecting sets and runs before your opponent does.
- For a longer game of melding, try Rummy 500: every card you put down scores, and you can dig deep into the discard pile for the cards you need.
- For something lighter, or to play with grandchildren, try Crazy Eights: match the suit or the rank, and play an 8 to change the suit.

Playing against the computer
Anne, Ben and Carol, the computer players, know only their own cards and the cards already played, just as you do, and follow exactly the same rules. They play the same way every time, so Undo and replays always go the same way. Every game has a number, and the same number always deals the same cards, so you can share a game with a friend.
There's no betting, no prizes and no real money in any of our games, and nothing to buy. They're played just for fun.
A game a day
Each card game has a daily game, the same for everyone that day, and it counts towards your streak once it's over, win or lose. If you'd rather play on your own, try our solitaire games.
