Hold five playing cards. Flick them at the monsters marching down the screen. Every card hits for its rank, and the hand you hold decides how hard. 5 Card Mayhem is a fast arcade card game built on poker hands. Pairs hit double, threes triple, fours quadruple. Hit a monster of the card's suit and the damage doubles again. Every combo you play upgrades its cards for the rest of the run, so the deck you shuffle into wave 10 is nothing like the one you started with. HOW IT PLAYS • Swipe up on a card to throw it. Cards fly where you flick them. • Each card hits for its rank: 2 for a deuce, 14 for an ace. • Pairs ×2, threes ×3, fours ×4. Matching the monster's suit doubles the hit. • Monsters that reach your line take their remaining health off your life. YOUR DECK GROWS • Cards in a combo upgrade for the whole run: Silver, Gold, Holo, Prism, Plasma, Nova and Cosmic, up to ×8. • A flush gives its five cards their suit's power: spades pierce, clubs splash, diamonds bounce, hearts heal. • A straight raises all five cards a tier. • Your deck carries through the run, upgrades and all. Learn when to wait for your best cards. BOSSES AND REWARDS • An armored boss arrives every fifth wave. Weak hits bounce right off. • Every other wave, and after every boss, pick a reward: add a card, copy one, remove one, upgrade one, or heal. MADE FOR ONE THUMB • Portrait, one hand, quick waves. • Free. The only ads are optional ones you choose to watch. ## Is 5 Card Mayhem safe?

Reach wave 15 to unlock it, then see how long you last against a monster stream that never stops. One deck, no reshuffles: smash crates for fresh cards, and break the gold locked ones open for better ones. Also new: • Game Center leaderboards: best wave, best throw and longest survival. • Your run is saved. Close the game or quit to the title screen and continue where you left off. • A progress bar shows how far through the wave you are. • Now in Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-06 New monsters: shielded, barriered and breeder monsters, each with a short lesson the first time. Bosses bring barriers and brood. Card hands now land with a slow-motion moment. Rewards can hold several cards at once (pairs, suit packs, runs), and boss rewards are all premium. A card dragged past the red line is held back. Bigger monsters cost more life when they get through. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-06 Minor fixes: • Spade cards are now violet, to match the spade monsters. • How to play now scrolls on smaller screens, so the rules stay readable. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-11-05 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
