About the game

RUTHLESS! is an online multiplayer card game from the crazy eights family — with a mean streak. Empty your hand to win, or be the last one standing: every penalty makes you draw, and whoever reaches 25 cards is eliminated. What makes it different are three rules of its own. RUNS let you drop a whole sequence of consecutive numbers in the same colour in one turn — the last card rules, so a good run changes the colour, lands a penalty and empties half your hand at once. COLD BLOOD is one token per match that freezes the penalty coming at you and doubles the next one you deal. DOUBLE! raises the XP at stake when you feel ahead, and your rivals can fold before it lands on them. Play against real people online, with bots that have personality when nobody is around. Classic, a daily table that changes for everyone, ranked Arena with leagues, 2 vs 2, three-round tournaments and private rooms. 168-card deck, five languages, free.
