How to play

  1. After a 3-second countdown, everyone gets the same 21 tiles (1–13 in red, blue, yellow and black).
  2. Tap tiles to select them, then tap "Group". Two kinds of groups count: 3–4 tiles of the same number in different colors, or 3+ consecutive numbers in the same color.
  3. Tap a group to break it apart again if you spot a better combination.
  4. When the 20 seconds are up, the numbers on your leftover tiles are added up. The highest total loses, and ties all lose. Tap "Finish" if you’re done early.

Great for

  • When you want a game that uses your head and your hands
  • Big groups that need a game done in 30 seconds

Tips

  • Get rid of big numbers first. One 13 left over hurts more than a few 1s.
  • You may get two identical tiles. A group can’t repeat a color.
  • Use the sort buttons to arrange your tiles by number or by color.

Points and the unluckiest player

  • The last-place player in each game gets 3 unlucky points. With 4 or more players, second-to-last gets 2 and third-to-last gets 1.
  • The final game counts double, so a comeback is always possible.
  • After the last game, whoever has the most points is crowned "Today’s unluckiest". Ties are settled with a sudden-death Card Flip.
  • The host can tap "One more round" to start again with the same group right away.
