Can I play Duo Cards alone?

Many multiplayer games include a single-player or computer opponent mode. Check the start screen. Online modes also work solo by matching you with others.

Which keys does each player use?

Shared-keyboard games usually give WASD to one player and arrow keys to the other, with extra keys for actions. The game shows this before the match.

Is online play safe for children?

Games on this site have no accounts or chat, so interaction is limited to the game itself. A parent should still be aware of what their child is playing.

The guide

Overview

Play this fun version of the popular card game classic and try to be the first to score 500 points. The rules are easy to learn: you start with 7 cards and need to get rid of them before the other AI players. After drawing from the pile, you have to match the current card in the discard pile either by number, color or icon. Make sure to announce your next-to-last card or else receive a penalty. Do you have the right strategy and luck to beat your opponents?

What it's like to play

Two players, one keyboard, and a very small screen between you. That is one classic shape of browser multiplayer. Another is a quick online match against whoever happens to be around. Either way, a session is a run of short rounds where the result depends on another person's decisions as much as yours. Trash talk is optional but common, and so is the rematch.

How to play

1Pick a mode from the menu. If playing locally, note which keys belong to each player.
2Start a round and spend the first few seconds getting a feel for your character; your opponent is doing the same.
3Focus on your opponent's position and habits rather than your own, especially in fighting or racing games.
4Play a best-of-three or five. A single round rarely settles anything.

Why it's worth a go

Duo Cards turns a laptop or tablet into a two-person arcade with no setup. It is free, needs no download or login, and rounds are short. The unpredictability of a human opponent keeps even simple games interesting far longer than they would be alone.

Who it's for

Suits pairs and small groups, from children playing with a sibling to adults at a kitchen table. Solo players who want online opponents also fit. It works best on a laptop or tablet.
