How to play Five Kings?

Game Setup

  • All cards are shuffled to form a common draw pile.
  • Each player receives a number of cards depending on the round.
  • The first round starts with 3 cards per player, then one card is added to each subsequent round.
  • One card is turned over to form the visible discard pile.
  • Players prepare to create combinations from the very first turns.

Gameplay outline

  • The game consists of several successive rounds, each with more cards.
  • On their turn, a player draws a card, either from the draw pile or the discard pile.
  • They try to form combinations: runs of the same suit or sets of identical cards.
  • Once their combinations are ready, they can lay down their cards to reduce their score.
  • The turn ends by discarding a card.
  • Each round becomes more complex as the number of cards in hand increases.
  • A "trump" suit changes each round, adding an extra strategic dimension.

Win/Loss Condition

  • The goal is to score as few points as possible at the end of the game.
  • At the end of each round, remaining cards in hand count as negative points.
  • The player who gets rid of their cards quickly limits their score.
  • After the final round, the player with the lowest score wins the game.

Our Tips for Winning

  • Prepare your combinations in advance

    Don't try to lay down your cards too quickly. Building multiple melds in parallel allows you to empty your hand efficiently at the right time.

  • Monitor the progress of the sleeves

    Each round becomes more complex with more cards in hand. Adapt your strategy: what works at the beginning may not be effective later.

  • Make smart use of this asset

    The trump suit changes each round and can turn an ordinary card into a key element. Always keep an eye on this mechanic to optimize your combinations.
