Sevens: learn through an example

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. A standard deck is dealt to four players, thirteen cards each. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction.

Take a closer look while playing

A careful first move helps you understand the round. Extend the low end or high end of an open suit by one rank. Aces are low below twos; kings are the high end. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction.

What the game asks you to do

Play every card to four suit sequences that expand outward from their sevens. Start a new round when you are ready to try again.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Making selections and moves

The board gives you the information needed for the next action. 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.

An example to follow

Check the rule below as you play. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
