I created this app for my brother, so that we could continue to play our childhood favourite game together despite him now living halfway across the world. It’s both a faithful digital recreation of a classic, and the birth of the Ultimate way to play; bringing new rules and features that are the product of years of quality time spent together. Whether you’re playing with someone in the same room or across an ocean, I hope this game brings you the same shared happiness it has given us for years.

If you cannot match a suit or number however, you'll have to draw yet another card for your hand, hopefully it will be a special card to boost your chances of winning. • Play special cards to bend the rules: stack 2s to make your opponents take between 2 and 16 cards in a single go, skip peoples go with 8s, reverse direction of play with Jacks, and change the current suit with Aces. • When a player empties their hand, the round ends. Everyone else counts their remaining cards, this will then be deducted from their score to eliminate the losers. • The match continues over multiple rounds until a champion is crowned. Ultimate Mode: • Transform the Red Joker into any rank to keep your streak alive. • If you are unlucky enough to land the Black Joker then you're in for an extra challenge, but if you are skilled enough to play it you might have just won yourself the whole game! • Sudden Death Buy-Back! This mode allows one last shot to stay in the game, if all players land in a sudden death buy back then it'll winner takes all!
