About

Dirty 7s

Features
Read full description

Dirty 7s is a strategic card game where getting rid of your cards is only part of the challenge. Play through seven rounds, build outward from the 7s, decide when to hold or pass dangerous cards, and avoid getting stuck with costly points. PLAY YOUR WAY • Play Solo against computer-controlled opponents • Play online Multiplayer with friends • Choose Assisted mode for helpful playability cues • Choose Classic mode for a more traditional, no-hints experience • Take on Daily Challenges STRATEGY WITH A LITTLE CHAOS The 7 of Spades starts the action. As cards are played, new ranks become available across the suits. If you can’t play, you may have to take a card from the player behind you. The Joker adds another layer of strategy by burning a position on the board — and potentially leaving someone with a costly card they can no longer play. SEVEN ROUNDS. LOWEST SCORE WINS. Every round matters. High-value cards left in your hand can quickly change the standings, so timing, observation, and a little luck all matter. Simple to learn. Strategic to play. Chaotic enough to keep every game different.
