How Speed is played here

The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.

  • Five cards in hand, fifteen to draw from, and six to the side. One card from each side stack starts the two piles in the middle.
  • No turns at all. Both of you play onto the same two piles at the same time, and the hand fills itself back to five after every card.
  • A card goes on a pile if it is one rank above or below it. Aces sit above kings and below twos, so the ranks run in a ring.
  • When neither of you can play, one card is turned over from each side stack. When those run out the middle is gathered up and split again.

How it works

  1. Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
  2. Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
  3. Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.

Questions about playing Speed online

How many can play Speed online here?
2 at one table. A bot can take any seat nobody fills, so a game never has to wait for somebody to turn up.
Can I play Speed against the computer?
Yes. Give any empty seat a bot and it plays like anyone else at the table, seeing only its own cards.
Does it cost anything?
No. Every table here is free, there are no ads, and nothing about you is sold or handed on.
Do I need an account?
Only to open a table. Joining one never needs an account — anyone you send the code to sits down as a guest.
Does Speed work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and there is nothing to install.
