Ruthless! Merciless Cards

About the game

Ruthless! Merciless Cards is crazy eights with teeth. Match the color or number on the pile, draw when you are stuck, and try to dump your hand first. Penalties pile cards onto your hand, and anyone who hits 25 cards is out, so surviving can win it too.

Three twists keep it nasty. Runs drop a whole same-color sequence in one go. Cold Blood freezes a penalty headed your way and doubles your next one. DOUBLE! raises the XP on the table, and rivals can fold. Real people fill the tables, with bots when it is quiet.

How to play

• On desktop, point and click a card from your hand to throw it down. Need a card? Click the deck. Color and rival choices pop up on screen.
• Your card has to share a color or a number with the top of the pile. Nothing fits? Draw one.
• For a run, start with the card wearing the magenta badge, add the next ones, then press PLAY RUN.
• Press LAST CARD! when you are down to one card, before a rival hits CAUGHT! and makes you draw. Cold Blood works once per match.
