Pile Race – Card Duel

Pile Race is a card game for Android: you play cards in rising rows from 1 to 12 onto the four piles in the middle and try to be the first to empty your stock pile. The game belongs to the family of spite-and-malice card games. HOW IT WORKS • Every player has a stock pile, five cards in hand and four discard piles of their own • Play cards from your hand, from your stock or from your discard piles onto the build piles in the middle: 1, 2, 3 up to 12 • Your turn ends when you put a card from your hand on one of your discard piles • Jokers stand for any number • Whoever empties their stock pile first wins MODES • Play alone against the computer on four levels: Beginner, Medium, Hard and Expert • Two to four players on one device: the hand is hidden after every turn so nobody sees the others' cards • Online against others: share a game with a code or invite saved partners, with a turn time limit (or none) and optional notifications • Humans and computer opponents can be assigned to the seats as you like RULES YOUR WAY • Size of the stock pile (10 to 40 cards) • Number of cards in hand (3 to 7) • Number of jokers • Random or fixed starting player • Time per turn • The full rules are in the app COMFORT • Tap or drag cards • Colour-blind mode (brightness steps instead of colours) • Several table colours and frames • Sounds you can switch on and off one by one • Your offline game is saved and you can continue it later • Statistics for your games against the computer • German and English, switchable in the app ONLINE MODE The online mode is optional and needs a confirmed email address.

The counters on the cards no longer have a dark background and do not cover the card number.
