How it works

One person opens kutuverse.com and creates a room. Everyone else joins by scanning the QR code or opening the link — on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, whatever they already have. Nobody makes an account, nobody downloads anything, and the game runs directly between your devices rather than on a company's server.

How to play Tres

Goal

Be the first to get rid of all your cards.

Playing

Play a card that matches the top of the pile by colour, number or symbol — or any wild. Can't? Draw. If what you drew plays, play it or keep it and pass.

Special cards

Skip ⊘ jumps the next player. Reverse ↺ turns play around (with two players it acts as a Skip). +2 makes the next player draw two. Wild ★ picks the colour; Wild +4 picks the colour and makes the next player draw four.

Calling TRES

About to play your second-to-last card? Press TRES! first. If you're caught on one card without having called, anyone can challenge you and you draw the penalty — but challenge someone who did call, and you draw it instead.

Stacking

With stacking on, a +2 or +4 isn't drawn straight away: the next player can pass it on with another draw card, and the total keeps growing until someone can't — they draw the lot and lose their turn.

House rules

Seven swaps hands with a player of your choice. Zero passes every hand along. Jump In lets you play an identical card out of turn.

Scoring

The round winner scores the cards left in everyone else's hand: number cards at face value, Skip/Reverse/+2 at 20, wilds at 50.
