## What is Five Suits Connected?

Five Suits Connected is an online card game based on the Five Crowns game by Set Enterprises, Inc.  It is a turn-based card game that the whole family can play.  With online play games can be played with family, friends or someone new from around the world in a match that doesn't end until all rounds have been played.  Online play also features in-game messaging for interacting with your opponents.  Five Suits Connected can also be played offline on a single device against others or against computer opponents.  

The objective is to obtain the lowest number of points after playing all eleven hands of the game.

The game consists of two 55 card decks ranging from 3's to Kings of 5 suits.  There are an additional 6 Jokers in the deck.  In the first round, 3 cards are dealt to each player.  Each round the cards are reshuffled and an additional card is dealt to each player.  This continues until each player is dealt 13 cards in the last round.

Each turn starts by either drawing a card from the deck or picking up the top card from the discard pile.  The turn is completed by discarding one card.  A player can meld some or all of his or her books and/or runs during any of his or her turns.  When a player melds all of the cards out of his or her hand they "open".  When a player is able to open, the remaining players each have one last turn.  Each player will pick up a card, lay down a card and meld his/her books and/or runs to remove those cards from his/her hand.  The remaining cards count as points against him/her for this round.  The player who goes first in each round rotates.  Play continues until the eleventh hand when the Kings are wild.  The player with the lowest score wins.

### 1/5 — Freezes up

*2026-06-23, version 1.77*

I play with my sisters and neice and the game has froze for my sister and I.  We have turned off the computer and still is frozen.

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2026-06-16, version 1.77*

Playing this game makes me smile! Thanks Matt Gabriel for a fun experience.

### 1/5 — Fun to play

*2026-06-13, version 1.77*

It doesn’t let me start a game. It doesn’t let my friend start a game either. It keeps saying Game Center has blocked or the restrictions are set so that I can’t start a game. But I know that’s not the case. This game is a Five Star game but these errors need fixed. Also it gives a save error and doesn’t let my friend end her game. Please please please fix. I want to give 5 stars

### 5/5 — Play all the time

*2026-05-28, version 1.76*

My wife and I play this game almost every day. Especially when one is working and the other is not. We also have shared it with friends and can play them anytime, anywhere. Love the chat feature.

### 5/5 — Awesome fun

*2026-05-26, version 1.76*

Get it now

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-04-26, version 1.76*

Save your money. Doesn’t work. Looks like it was built in the 90’s. Want my money back

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2026-04-08, version 1.76*

When players quit mid game, the remaining player should automatically get the win. Some players quit when losing, poor sports. Games also glitches often when playing multiplayer over 2 players.

### 4/5 — Great game but needs more options

*2026-01-22, version 1.76*

I love this game but the interface needs more options. There are a ton of inactive players in my “recent games” queue. I can’t challenge many of the players I enjoy playing with unless I keep completed games in the bottom of the queue which then slows down the app. Please allow us to either remove players from the queue or challenge players by entering their usernames

### 1/5 — No Instructions

*2025-07-07, version 1.76*

No Instructions on How to Play - that area sits blank. No Tutorial - that area sits blank.  No idea how it got over 4 stars. The graphics are terrible and misspellings everywhere. Terrible waste of money.

### 5/5 — Functional

*2025-06-21, version 1.76*

The UX is a bit strange at first, but you get used to it. Love to see 5 Crowns on mobile.
