Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Click or drag a run onto a card one rank higher; click the spool to deal a row; click a run twice to auto-place it.
  • Arrows + Space.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Tap a run, then a card one rank higher (or drag).
  • Tap the spool to deal a row.
  • Tap a run twice to place it automatically.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

Four K-to-A runs per board, eight columns, three spool deals. Board one is a single thread, board two has two, then four. A completed run is worth 100, a woven board earns a bonus, and every move costs a point. It ends when no useful move is left. Seeded shuffles.
