How to play Kings in the Corner

  1. 1Everyone gets seven cards. Four cards are turned up beside the stock, one on each side; the four corners start empty and only a king may start a corner pile.
  2. 2Your turn starts with a card drawn from the stock for you. Then play as many cards as you like: build down in alternating colors (a black 6 on a red 7), put a king in an empty corner, or put any card on an empty side space.
  3. 3You may also move a whole side pile onto another pile when its bottom card fits there (or a pile starting with a king into an empty corner). That frees the side space for a new card.
  4. 4End your turn when you’re done. The first player to play every card wins the round. If the stock is empty and nobody can play for a full lap, the round ends.
  5. 5Cards left in your hand count against you: kings 10, everything else 1. When someone reaches 25, the lowest total wins.
