Last Card

Last Card is a cozy colour-matching card game played at a warm little table with friendly animal players. The aim is simple: be the first to empty your hand. On your turn you play a card that matches the top of the pile by colour, number or symbol. If nothing fits, you draw. When you are down to one card, tap the Last card button, because if another player catches you first, you draw two.

The deck has 108 cards in four colours, each with its own corner sign so they are easy to tell apart. Skip makes the next player lose a turn, Reverse changes direction, +2 makes the next player draw two, a Wild lets you pick the colour, and a Wild +4 does both. The round winner scores the cards left in the other hands: numbers at face value, action cards 20 and wilds 50. You can play a single round or a match to a points target, with 2 to 6 players.

House rules are switches you can set the way your family plays: draw until you can play, stacking +2 and +4, the 7-0 hand swap, jump-ins with an identical card, and challenging a Wild +4 that might be a bluff. The career has 120 tables in eight places, from the Kitchen Table to the Star Lounge, and each place introduces one of those rules. Tables 5 and 10 are challenges, such as winning without drawing or starting with ten cards, and table 15 is a boss, like Granny Bramble, who starts with extra wilds. Each table has a win goal, a turn par and a side objective, for three stars.

Bots come in three levels: Easy, Clever and Sharp. The sharpest remember which colours you lack, save their wilds and aim draw fours at the leader. Some tips: keep a wild for the end of the round, change the colour to one the next player has struggled with, use action cards when someone is close to going out, and keep an eye on anyone down to one card so you can catch a missed call.

There is also a Daily Table that is the same for everyone each day and grows a streak, Quick Play with any rules and bot level, and online matches for 2, 4 or 6 players after signing in, with quick chat, private rooms with a code, and bots filling empty seats or taking over if someone leaves. Coins buy card backs, avatars and extra table themes, each place you reach unlocks its own table, and achievements track your milestones. The game plays with touch, a mouse or the keyboard in any orientation.

On your turn, play a card that matches the pile. If you can't, draw from the deck. Call last card when you have one left, and tap a player's Catch badge if they forget. The first to empty their hand wins the round.

Work through the career, set any rules in quick play, keep a streak at the daily table, or play online with real people at tables for 2, 4 or 6 players, with quick chat. Card backs, table themes, avatars and achievements fill out your collection.
