Sevens
Build up and down from each seven and be the first to empty your hand.
How to play Sevens
The whole deck is dealt to you and three computer players. Whoever holds the seven of diamonds lays it down to start, and each suit builds outward from its seven in a row — upward eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace and downward six, five, four, three, two, Ace. On your turn you may play any seven to open a new suit, or a card that sits directly next to the exposed end of a row of the same suit. Playable cards are highlighted; if you have none, press Pass. The first player to get rid of every card wins, and the rest are ranked by how many cards they have left.

Sevens — frequently asked questions
Is Sevens the same as Fan Tan or Parliament?
Yes. Sevens is known by several names — Fan Tan, Parliament, Domino and Card Dominoes — but the rules are the same: build each suit up and down from its seven and shed your whole hand.
What can I play on my turn?
You can play any seven to start that suit, or a card one rank above or below the exposed end of a suit already on the table. Only cards of the matching suit extend a row, and the game highlights every legal move for you.
What happens if I cannot make a move?
If none of your cards can be played you must pass by pressing the Pass button, and play moves to the next person. Holding a key card such as an Ace or King can block a suit, so timing your plays matters.
How do I win at Sevens?
Be the first to play every card in your hand. When someone goes out the remaining players are ranked by how many cards they are still holding, so keep your hand flowing and avoid getting stuck.
