Kings in the Corner

Build descending alternating-color piles, open the corners with Kings, and empty your hand before your rivals.

Overview

Kings in the Corner is a classic shedding game for two or four players. Build descending, alternating-color sequences around four side piles and four king-only corner spaces. Empty your hand first to win.

How to play

  1. Draw one card at the start of your turn.
  2. Play a card one rank lower and opposite in color on any occupied pile.
  3. Only a King may open an empty corner.
  4. You may move a complete pile when its bottom card legally continues another pile.
  5. Use empty side spaces for any card, then pass when finished.

Modes

Play against one AI opponent, challenge three AI players, or use online multiplayer for cross-platform Android, iOS and Web matches.

Tips

  • Move complete piles to expose empty side spaces.
  • Save Kings until a corner opens.
  • Watch alternating colors as well as descending ranks.
  • Emptying a side pile creates a flexible destination for your next card.
