House rules

2’s score −22’s score +2

How 2s score. At −2 they're the best card in the deck — actively lowering your total. At +2 they just count face value.

King scores 10King scores 0

How Kings score. At 10 they're the worst card to be caught holding; at 0 they're a safe zero — the classic variant.

6-card grid4-card grid

Cards dealt to each player: six in a 2×3 grid for the full game, or four in a 2×2 for a quicker hand.

Decks in the shoeHow many decks are shuffled together. Bigger tables need more cards — and more copies of each card makes column matches easier to chase.

Bonus for matching your whole gridTurn your whole grid into matching columns and this bonus lands on your score. Negative numbers help you — golf scores low to win.

Peek any two cardsPeek bottom corners

Your two secret looks at the start of each hand: any two of your face-down cards, or strictly the bottom two corners.

Discard a draw → flip one of yoursDiscard a draw → turn ends

What happens when you draw a card and throw it away without swapping: you must also flip one of your face-down cards, or your turn simply ends.

Others get one last turnHand ends when someone’s cards are all up

When a player's grid goes all face-up: everyone else gets exactly one final turn, or the hand ends on the spot.

Pre-filled from your usual game — whatever you deal becomes the new default next time you set up a table.

House playersThe house fills these seats and plays its own turns — no phones needed. House players only join live online tables, and a round with them at it doesn't count toward anyone's lifetime records.

Short a seat? The house sends players like Miss Ruby or Cousin Earl. Their rounds don't count toward records.
