About Five Kings

In this game you play 11 rounds against the computer and/or against other humans. The winner is the player who has the lowest score at the end of the game.

NOTE! If you have a Samsung and dragging cards in Five Kings doesn't work, please install Samsung Game Tuner and then set Mode (in Game Tuner) to Maximum quality (or set Resolution Ratio to 100% for Five Kings only).

You start with the round of 3's where you have 3 cards and 3's are wild (in addition to Jokers). You end with the round of Kings where you have 13 cards and Kings are wild.

In each turn, draw from the Draw or Discard pile to your hand, meld your cards (by dragging them to the meld area on the screen), and discard a card to the Discard pile.

Melds are 3 or more of the same rank, or 3 or more in a sequence, including as many wild cards as you like.
A player is "out" when they have melded all their cards, giving them a score of 0 for the round.
All other players get one more turn to improve their hands, or also go out. At the end of the round, your score for the round is the sum of the unmelded cards you have left. Cards count their face value except that unmelded wild cards count 20, and unmelded Jokers count 50!

Sound difficult? Fortunately Five Kings has five (of course) game difficulties from Beginner (where the game helps you play and gives you hints) to Challenging (where your on your own against the Expert). The Easy opponent may throw you wild cards half the time, but you'll need all your skills and strategy to beat the Expert consistently.

Five Kings is inspired by the timeless classic Five Crowns card game from Set.

by Q####:

It is addictive! Not sure what it means by more challenging games. All games appear to play equal, no one harder then the next, but enjoyable either way!

D70%
by D####:

I love this game! However, if I close the app at any time and try to open it to play later, I can't. I can't move any cards. I have to uninstall the app, and reinstall it to get it to work again.

Q70%
by Q####:

Having issues discarding. It won't drop on the discard pill. So can't play the game right now.

Q70%
by Q####:

Love playing. Unfortunately it now always closes itself when I click to play final kings round. Super super annoying, especially when you're so close to winning.

S70%
by S####:

I would like to see the droid last hand instead of the card animation which adds no value and takes away from enjoyment of playing!

Q70%
by Q####:

I can't find the access to "settings" on my tablet. Is this because the app is for a phone only?

So addictive in a good way!! Highly recommend!!

Q70%
by Q####:

I absolutely love to play this game. But melding and discarding are very difficult. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and problem still continues.

L70%
by L####:

Game play is great. The UX could use some refinement (like disabling animations, clean up the look a little) but the core game play and entertainment is right there.

L70%
by L####:

When I installed this it works fine and I enjoy the game. But when I exit I cant go to game again. In is not discharging cards, so I have to uninstall game and then install to start the game again. Disappointed.

Q70%
by Q####:

It worked great. I love this game, but all of a sudden it would not let me discard or meld. Like what the heck, the game stopped working.

Q70%
by Q####:

I enjoy playing when it's working, but it seems the more I play the more often it crashes.

Q70%
by Q####:

Card games have been my favorite since I was a kid and my grandparents taught me to play a wide variety of them.. I'm always looking for a new or different one and this one really fits the bill..Thanks devs for a great game and those memories of Saturday night cards!!!

But I LOVE the CHALLENGE

L70%
by L####:

This game was great, one of my favorites in fact. However since the new update I can't play anymore. Every time I try to discard there is nothing. It keeps telling me to discard but it won't let me, no matter what. I'm dragging it to the discard pile but nothing.

L70%
by L####:

This app doesn't work well with the new Samsung s7 and I'm pretty sad because it worked amazing on my LG. It's like it isn't recognizing my movements at all. I can't drag my discard or even meld anything

Q70%
by Q####:

It's difficult to meld what you have and to discard. I've gotten the discard down bit I still can't figure out how to meld. It was showing a button to help meld and it did it for you but not anymore. I wish there were more options for this game because it is a fun game.

M70%
by M####:

Can't Meld cards I want to because the game thinks it knows better. So I have to play easy for auto meld. Needs a MUCH bigger sign when the Droid goes down. I always miss it and end up with 100 points when I could have melded.

W70%
by W####:

Great when I don't want to use data! I play a lot while my husband is driving on our vacation! Overall it's great, but a few suggestions for improvements down the road-- a more obvious way to tell if someone has gone out. I get this is part of the more challenging levels, but I've gotten burned bad by that!! I also wish it would save how many people I'm playing against from the last gane I played. I like keeping 4 droids, but it likes to reset to 2. And it doesn't save the mean names I give the droids. :)

T70%
by T####:

I really like this game, but I find the computer discarding wild cards in the higher hands where it clearly should keep them or combine them with existing melds. I overall a good representation of Five Crowns!

Q70%
by Q####:

Played this addicting game for hours, but all of a sudden I can't meld or discard anymore. Possibly an update issue? Having to drag to the exact specific spot to meld was always a pain but not enough to keep me from playing, but now the cards won't "stick". Sad, since this was one of my favorite time wasters.

Q70%
by Q####:

Great to find my favourite game of five crowns as an app. However even at the challenge level playing against expert droids I'm finding it too easy and winning nearly every time. Can you make my opponents more expert?

L70%
by L####:

Wish I could play with friends and family because when we all are together we get down on a game of cards. But it sucks that we can't when we are not around. But great practice but please try to add playing with love ones

Q70%
by Q####:

I can't figure out how to discard. I try to drag a card to the discard pile, but it doesn't work. Please help!

Q70%
by Q####:

So much fun! It's just like 5 crowns that me and my friends play. Now I can play even when we can't get together!

Q70%
by Q####:

Should put in a setting to allow the game to be played in reverse once completed. So after Kings, you play Kings again, then Queens, etc. all the way down to three.

Z70%
by Z####:

Had originally voted lower but playing against three others makes it reasonably challenging. Has become somewhat addictive now.

Would not let me meld.

Great game play, no needed permissions. Really nicely done. Thanks!

Y70%
by Y####:

No frills which is good. No ads, which is better. Would like it if it were more obvious when the Droid goes out- a sound maybe or a constant red box around your opponent's scorecard.

Q70%
by Q####:

Like the game a lot. Droid players seem to play fair. A bit disappointed that you can't save player names when you close the app

R70%
by R####:

Nice game. Plays just like the card game. Very nicely done tutorial. Computer a little easy even on expert, but lots of fun! Love that it is ad-free
