Rules
House rules at this table
Each game has its own page with the full house rules and a play button. Kitchen rules wander; these are the ones the server uses, for two players.
Last Card
Last Card
Last Card is the shedding game played in New Zealand kitchens and pubs. This table is built for two: you and a friend on another device, or you against the computer. House rules here match the common NZ version, not Uno and not casino Last Card.
500
500
500 is the trick game of New Zealand and Australia. Most tables need four. This one is cut for two: you bid against the person across the table, not a partner. 43-card pack, three in the kitty, bowers and the joker.
Cribbage
Cribbage
Six-card cribbage for two. No board to pack: you peg on this table to 121. Throw two to the crib, play to 31, then count the show. Vs a friend on another device, or the computer.
Gin Rummy
Gin Rummy
Gin Rummy is the two-player rummy game: ten cards, draw and discard, knock when deadwood is 10 or less. This table is head-to-head only. Ace is low in runs (A-2-3, not Q-K-A).
Go Fish
Go Fish
Go Fish for two. Seven cards each, rest in the ocean. Ask for a rank you already hold. Four of a rank is a book. Most books wins. Vs a friend on another device, or the computer.
Hearts
Hearts
Hearts cut for two. Thirteen cards each, the rest a stock. After every trick the winner draws, then the loser. Pass three, follow suit, dump hearts and the queen of spades. Lowest match score when someone reaches 100.
Speed

Double Solitaire
Double Solitaire

Stockpile
Stockpile
Stockpile is the two-player stacking game: empty your personal stock of 20 by building shared centre piles from 1 to 12. Wilds play as whatever the pile needs. Same family of play as Skip-Bo, without the brand.
