A Round starts by distributing 4 cards for each player. All players' cards are all face back. Then, each player is allowed to see his 2 rightmost cards at the beginning of each Round. All players' cards during the game will be face back. Your target is to minimize the value of your cards as much as possible. In your turn, you have 3 options to do: 1) Replace the center card by a card 2) Replicate a card 3) Draw a Card You can replace the drawn card with one of your cards or you can throw it. Some cards have special actions: 7 and 8 allow you to see one of your cards. 9 and 10 allow you to see a card from another player. Eye Master card allows you to see a card from each player excluding you, or see 2 of your cards. Swap card allows you to swap one of your cards with another player without revealing the cards. Replica card allows you to get rid of any card by throwing it. The game keeps going until a player says 'Skru' He will not play in his turn and the Round will end after all other players play for another turn. Note that you can't say 'Skru' during the first 3 turns. Then, all cards are revealed, and the player with the lowest score takes 0 score. If more than one player has the lowest score, all of them takes 0 score. Take care, if you said 'Skru', but you were not the lowest score at the end of the Round, your Round score gets doubled. ## Key features - Distribute 4 face-down cards per player - Minimize card values - Replace, replicate, or draw cards - Special action cards (7, 8, 9, 10, Eye Master, Swap, Replica) - Call 'Skru' to end rounds - Score based on lowest card values ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/skru/id6478879388/reviews.md ### 1/5 — اللعبه دي بقت متهكرة *2026-03-04, version 2.5.1* بقت سيئة بسبب الهاك اللي فيها ### 1/5 — بتعلق *2025-08-11, version 2.4.1* اصبحت سيئة وتهنج كثير وفيها شقط كثير ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-06-10, version 2.4.1* Lagging ### 5/5 — Allow music streaming *2025-05-27, version 2.4.1* 10/10, easy going interface and overall great experience.HOWEVER, it is so annoying having to stop the music everytime I play, would be much better if this issue is solved and I could play while listening to music ### 5/5 — لعبه جاااااامده *2025-01-26* لعبه راييييقه ### 1/5 — ايه *2025-01-08, version 2.3.1* ايه فايدة التيم لو ورقنا مش مكشوف لبعض ### 4/5 — سلبيات اللعبه *2024-12-21, version 2.3.0* يفضل ازالة الإعلانات وإعادة الرياكشنات زي ما كانت ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-12-18, version 2.2.5* Very fun and easy to play ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading on a macbook *2024-11-20, version 2.2.5* Stuck on loading on a macbook please fix it ### 5/5 — افضل لعبة 🫡👑 *2024-10-18, version 2.2.2* شكرا للعبقري اسماعيل شريف لعبة تحفة 🥰🫡 ## Frequently asked questions about Skru ### What is the objective of Skru? The primary objective of Skru is to minimize the total value of the cards you hold by the end of each round. Players strategically use their turns to replace, replicate, or draw new cards, aiming to have the lowest score when all cards are revealed. ### How do special cards work in Skru? Special cards offer unique advantages. Cards like 7 and 8 let you see your own cards, while 9 and 10 allow you to view another player's card. The Eye Master card provides broader visibility, and Swap and Replica cards offer ways to exchange or discard cards strategically. ### What happens when a player calls 'Skru'? When a player calls 'Skru' on their turn (after the initial three turns), they do not play that turn. The round then concludes after all other players have taken one more turn. All cards are revealed, and the player with the lowest total card value receives zero points for the round. ### What is the penalty for calling 'Skru' incorrectly? If a player calls 'Skru' but does not have the lowest card value at the end of the round, their score for that round is doubled. This adds a significant risk element to calling 'Skru' and encourages careful assessment of card values before making the call. ### Is Skru available on multiple platforms? The provided description does not specify compatibility with different operating systems or devices. However, it is described as an 'Online' game, suggesting it is playable via a web browser or a dedicated application. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.7.0 — 2026-07-28 - Voice chat in private rooms is back. - Block feature to have a better experience. - Bug Fixes. ### 2.6.1 add config for leaderboard — 2026-05-03 - No wait time when creating account - Weekly Leaderboard (Beta) - Notify player on start game - Bug fixes ### 2.6.0 leaderboard — 2026-05-01 - No wait time when creating account - Weekly Leaderboard (Beta) - Notify player on start game - Bug fixes ### 2.5.1 — 2026-03-04 - Bug Fixes ### 2.5.0 — 2026-02-06 - Voce Chat in Private Rooms - Enhanced Chat feature, and restrictions for new users - Easier login - Bug Fixes ## Apps similar to Skru | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Speed the Card Game Spit Slam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/speed-the-card-game-spit-slam/id914247866) | 4.7 (13,024) | Free | Games | | [The Golf Card Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-golf-card-game/id1114415982) | 4.7 (6,431) | Free | Games | | [Nap Whist](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nap-whist/id1313479080) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Games | | [Durak game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/durak-game/id553843556) | 4.6 (743) | Free | Games | | [Rook](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rook/id789382449) | 4.8 (6,895) | Free | Games | | [Skip Solitaire: Win Real Cash](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/skip-solitaire-win-real-cash/id1605519472) | 4.7 (349) | Free | Games | ## Related topics [skru](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/skru) · [skrew](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/skrew) · [skru app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/skru-app) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
