Play Sevens against three computer opponents on a colorful card table made for iPhone and iPad. Build each suit outward from its seven, choose which routes to open, and cover a card only when you have no legal play. HOW TO PLAY • Each player receives 13 cards. The seven of spades opens the round. • Add an adjacent card to an open suit, or start another suit with its seven. • If no card can be played, cover one card. Aces cost 1 point through kings at 13 points. • A round ends when all four hands are empty. The fewest covered cards wins, with tied winners supported. GORDON COINS A fresh installation receives 150 Gordon Coins. At least 50 Coins are required to start a round; entering does not itself deduct Coins. Each covered-card point costs 1 Coin, capped at the available balance. All players’ losses form the round pool. A 15% game fee is deducted before the remainder is divided among the winners. Computer opponents refill when their balance is too low; a human balance below 50 opens the Coin shop. An available rewarded video grants 50 Coins only after its reward is earned. Optional consumable packs contain 500, 1,200, 2,000 or 7,000 Coins. Prices appear in your local App Store currency. Gordon Coins have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred between people. There are no real-money prizes. A new approved paid Coin purchase turns interstitial ads off. Successfully earning a new free rewarded-video offer turns them on again until the next paid purchase. Home banners and voluntary rewarded videos remain available. MORE TO ENJOY • Daily challenges, a monthly calendar and completion streaks. • Friend challenge codes for comparing local results; shared scores are not verified online. • Computer opponents with different playing styles and selectable difficulty. After every three completed rounds, the next hand is deliberately harder, including daily and friend games. • Hints with reasons, public-action replays and decision analysis using information visible at the time. • Statistics, achievements, daily missions and unlockable table themes. • Background music, card motion and a five-second winner celebration. • High-contrast and suit-pattern options, screen-reader card labels and reduced motion. Game progress, Coin balances and purchase-delivery records are stored on this device. Unused consumable Coins cannot be restored after deleting app data or changing devices. Gameplay works offline; ads and purchases require an internet connection. No game account is required. Published by AppLabNexus LLC.
