Game Modes

Five ways to play. One engine.

Standard

54 cards, 7 dealt each. Match suit or rank, chain runs and stack penalties. The classic Last Cards experience.

2–10 players

Online

Shared engine via WebSocket — no client-server drift. Casual matches feed leaderboards if trophy-eligible.

Live multiplayer

Ranked

MMR-driven competitive ladder backed by Firestore stats. Climb seasons and prove your standing.

Competitive

Tournament

Knockout rounds — last finisher each round is eliminated. Offline tournaments support skip-to-result.

Bracket

Bust Mode

52-card variant, no Jokers. Two turns per round; lowest two scores eliminated until one stands.

Variant

Practice

Offline AI matches to learn the rules and rehearse strategy — no leaderboard pressure.

Solo
Special Cards

Eight cards. A hundred outcomes.

Every special card stacks, cancels or redirects. Master the chain and the table is yours.

2

Two

Next player draws 2. Stacks with other 2s — penalties accumulate.

J♠

Black Jack

Next player draws 5. Stacks with 2s or other Black Jacks.

J♥

Red Jack

Cancels the active penalty. Resets the stack to zero.

K

King

Reverses turn order. With two players, play continues to you.

A

Ace

Choose the new suit. Slip out of corners and dictate the table.

Q

Queen

Locks the suit — Current player must match by suit, not rank.

8

Eight

Skips the next player entirely. Devastating in 2-player matches.

JOKER

Joker

Wild — choose both the new suit and the new rank.

Built for the long match.

— How To Play

The rules in five steps.

One deck, 7 cards each, one starter face-up. Match suit or rank. Chain when you can. Penalty up. Or call Last Cards if you've got the nerve.

Read full rulebook
  1. 01

    Match suit or rank

    Play a card matching the top discard by suit, rank, or special rule (Ace, Joker).

  2. 02

    Chain or run

    Drop multiple cards of the same rank, or run a single suit up or down — then pivot to a new suit.

  3. 03

    Stack penalties

    2s and Black Jacks compound the draw — only a Red Jack can cancel the chain.

  4. 04

    Effect order

    Draw → Skip (8) → Reverse (King) → Suit lock (Queen). Resolve in that sequence every turn.

  5. 05

    Declare Last Cards

    Believe you can clear in one turn? Press it. Get it wrong and the table eats you alive.

Release notes for Last Cards · Current: Version 1.0.15

Version 1.0.15

Latest release

New

  • Named AI regulars — Zoe, Kenji, Freya and friends now fill empty online seats one by one like a real lobby, each clearly labelled, with their own avatars and temperaments. They react at the table, play at a human pace, and the first one seated always plays a gentler game
  • Rivalries: the game remembers your record against each AI regular — lose to one and you’ll see exactly how the grudge stands
  • Daily challenges — three a day, instant coin and XP rewards, tracked right on the start screen
  • Daily streak rework: rewards climb through the week to a 100-coin day-7 jackpot, every week
  • Ranked seasons — a fresh ladder every month with a season leaderboard, plus a coin reward for where you finished last season
  • Weekly tournament window — Sundays 7pm UTC, with a countdown on the Tournament button and a push when it goes live

Improvements

  • The end-of-match screen now shows your XP bar filling, level-ups, and coins counting in
  • Lose with one card left and the game says so — you’ll know how close it was
  • AI opponents are labelled during matchmaking, not just at the table

Fixes

  • Ranked matchmaking no longer tells signed-in players to sign in (server-side fix, live since September)

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Yes — Last Cards is available on Google Play and the App Store. Optional cosmetic themes and card styles may be available as in-app purchases.

Only for online, ranked and online tournament modes. Practice vs AI and offline tournaments work fully offline.

Standard uses 54 cards (with Jokers) and the "Last Cards" declaration rule. Bust Mode is a 52-card elimination variant — two turns per round, lowest scorers knocked out, no Last Cards declaration.

Ranked uses an MMR system backed by Firestore. Wins move you up, losses move you down. Seasonal resets keep the ladder fresh.

If 2+ players remain, your cards are shuffled into the draw pile and the match continues without you. If you were the last opponent, the session ends.

Yes — we update Last Cards regularly with balance changes and new modes. See the patch notes for what’s new, or follow the studio for announcements.
