🎬 Smooth 2D animations
Cards are dealt, tossed, and flipped with satisfying motion. Turn glows, reveals, and confetti make every round feel alive.
🛡️ Fair by design
Every move is checked on the server. The deck and other hands are unreadable by any player, so nobody can peek or cheat.
👥 Up to 8 players
Two decks plus jokers keep big tables fast and fun. Scores, eliminations at 200, and the last player standing wins.
How to play Least Count
- Everyone gets 5 cards. Aim for the lowest total. Ace is 1, numbers are face value, J is 11, Q is 12, K is 13, and jokers are 0.
- On your turn, drop then pick. Drop one card, or several of the same rank. Then pick one card from the deck, or take what the previous player just dropped.
- Think you're lowest? Call Show. Right: you score 0 and everyone else adds their hand total. Wrong (anyone ties or beats you): you take +40.
- 200 points and you're out. The last player standing wins the table.
