Nickel Nickel is a fun four-player progressive rummy game where the wild card changes every round. The game begins with three cards, with 3s and Jokers as wild cards. Each round another card is dealt, and the next rank becomes wild, continuing all the way through the 13s round. Play against three computer opponents as you build sets of three cards or runs of three or more cards in the same suit. On your turn, draw a card from the face-down draw pile or the face-up discard pile. If you have wild cards, position your wilds in your hand to make sets. Choose your discard carefully—you may be helping the next player. When a player lays down all of their cards in valid sets and runs, each remaining player gets one final turn before scores are counted. After the 13s round, the player with the lowest score wins the game! This free version includes banner ads during play and occasional full-screen ads between games. Prefer an ad-free experience? Nickel Nickel+ removes all advertising.
