Deckwren: Kings in the Corner

Kings in the Corner is a traditional card game for two to four players, and this is Deckwren's version of it, with our own cards, rules text and computer opponents. Deckwren is not affiliated with or endorsed by Goliath, which sells a Kings in the Corner board game. HOW DECKWREN'S KINGS IN THE CORNER IS DIFFERENT • The computer players see only their own cards, as you see only yours. They never peek at your hand. • After every hand, Show the hands lists how each card was dealt, so you can check the deal for yourself, and Play this deal again gives you the same cards from the next seat. • The computer plays one move at a time, at the speed you choose (slow, normal or fast), and a line of words says what it just did. • Your house rules: draw at the start of your turn instead of the end, play kings to the corners at once, and play one hand or to 25 or 50 points. Play against one, two or three computer players. Lay your cards down the four piles beside the deck in falling order and alternating colors, put each king in a corner, and move a whole pile to open up a space. The first player to empty their hand wins the hand. Pick your opponent: Easy plays the first card that fits and is the place to start, Normal plans its turn and moves whole piles, and Hard thinks a few moves ahead. New to the game? Your first hand is a guided one that shows you each move, and How to play explains every rule in plain words. Tap a card and then the place it goes, or drag it there. Undo your last move within your turn. Tap any pile to see every card in it; whose turn it is and who went first are always on the screen. Your game is saved after every move, so a phone call never costs you a hand, and Statistics keep your games, wins and streaks. Easy on the eyes: big, clear cards on a calm, dark green table, with a Large cards setting and a Left-handed layout. Every card and pile has a label for VoiceOver, and the computer's moves are read out. Sounds and vibration can be turned off, and the cards stop sliding when Reduce Motion is on in your iPhone's settings. It plays offline, with no account and no sign-in, and it collects nothing about you. Kings in the Corner is also known as Kings Corner or King's Corners. Unlike the solitaire games that share the name, it is played against opponents: a quick card game to learn if you like rummy or crazy eights. Questions, or a house rule you would like to see?
