Queen Me is a card puzzle you play alone, at your own pace. Place cards on a five-by-five grid to build scoring lines across rows, columns, and both diagonals. Rows and columns score on straights — 10, J, Q, K, A in any order. The two diagonals are the bonus zone, where flushes, five of a kind, and quintets all pay out too. The center square sits on both diagonals, which makes it the most valuable spot on the board. You start with seven decks, and the deck shrinks as you climb levels, so the pressure builds. One joker per game can clear the whole grid when you have painted yourself into a corner — spend it wisely, because it only works once. Every placement matters. Putting a card somewhere convenient early is how a good board goes bad by the end of the deck. WHAT'S INSIDE - Five-by-five grid with row, column, and diagonal scoring - Straights, flushes, five of a kind, and quintets - Queens Reign bonuses and the Queen Club - One joker rescue per game - High scores, level progress, and a daily play streak - Built for both iPhone and iPad NO STRINGS - Free, with no ads - No accounts and no sign-in - No internet connection required - Nothing tracked, nothing collected — scores stay on your device Rounds run a few minutes. Learning where to put the tens takes longer.
