Read full description

Play the card game Speed online with friends or sharpen your skills against ten increasingly difficult AI characters. As the name implies, "Speed" is one of the liveliest, and most fast-tactical card games ever invented. It requires players to think on their toes, make swift decisions, and adjust strategy on the fly with rapidly changing options. Unlike other card games, Speed is not turn-based. It's a race to the finish line. Each player competes to discard their cards as quickly as possible. "Speed" is literally the name of the game... Features in this version of Speed: - Supports online play against friends or offline play with AI characters - Settings to control card speed - Settings to enable/disable Hints (when enabled, legal cards are highlighted in player's hand) - Settings to enable/disable Auto Restock (when enabled, cards are automatically restocked from Stock Pile after every play) - Settings to enable/disable sound effects - Interactive tutorial on game rules teaching you how to play
