King’s Corner vs ōlelō

Move over Solitaire, there's a new king of card games! King’s Corner, or Kings in the Corner, is a great game for all ages—easy to pick up and endlessly entertaining. Play on your own with an AI that’s as challenging as you like: one to three opponents can miss moves while you’re still learning and be laser-accurate once you’ve mastered the game. Play with friends online via Game Center or in-person with our pass & play mode that’s all the fun with none of the shuffling and dealing. King’s Corner 4 is a universal purchase for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and has been fully optimized for the latest OS versions. As always, it's fully compatible with VoiceOver so players with limited or no vision are welcome. Here’s how the game works: King's Corner uses the same basic rules as games like Solitaire—cards are placed in descending order and in alternating colors. A red 9 can be played on a black 10, or a black ace can be placed on a red 2. The deck is set up with 8 spaces around the deck; four king spaces (marked with a crown) and four unmarked spaces. You'll get a new card at the beginning of every turn, and the goal of the game is to get rid of your cards first by making as many of the following types of moves as possible: • Add a card to any existing stack • Move a card or stack in one unmarked space to the bottom of any other card or stack. King stacks don't move, since there's nothing higher than a King. • Start a new stack if there's an empty space on the table. Only kings can start the corner stacks, but any other card can start a stack in one of the four unmarked spots.

A four-letter word can beat a seven-letter one. A word that isn't real can beat both - if nobody calls it. ōlelō turns word-building into a shared-card strategy game. Each player gets two private letter cards and five shared letters to work with. Build a great word, slip in a bluff, or challenge a word that looks suspicious. At the showdown, build the highest-scoring word you can from any combination of the seven. Rare letters are worth more than common ones, so the longest word doesn't always win. Neither does the honest one. --- BLUFF - OR CALL THE BLUFF Play a word you know is real. Or risk one that isn't and hope nobody challenges it. Think your opponent made theirs up? Call the bluff. Call it correctly and their word is wiped out - and its points come off their score. Get it wrong, and those points come off yours. Every hand becomes a decision: find a better word, risk a bluff, or decide whether you believe the word in front of you. --- FREE TO PLAY.
