Rules, optional

Play cards.
Your way.

Cardz is a unique solitaire game: known games with rules that can be turned off, or a completely rule-free Sandbox where the only thing you're given is a deck of cards. Cardz gives you the cards, the tools, and the freedom to decide the rest.

The heart of Cardz

A deck.
No rules.

Sandbox begins with a table and a deck. Move cards anywhere, make up a game as you go, or recreate a family favourite. Table modes let you gather, spread, fish, rotate, shuffle, and reshape the cards without telling you what is allowed. Stamp tableaus or foundations to give your game some structure.
