Match cards
Play cards that match the top card by suit or rank. Can't play? Draw from the deck and your turn ends.
Rachel
One card left. Don't get comfortable.
Get rid of your cards before your opponents give you more.
How it works
Send the trouble on
Facing a draw-two attack? Play another 2 and the next player faces four. Special cards can turn a comfortable lead into a handful of trouble.
Last one loses
Empty your hand to get out. The last player still holding cards loses the game.
Learn as you play
The tutorial deals you a hand and walks you through the special cards. Try an attack, answer a skip and see what happens when you change the suit.
And when a card can't be played, the app says why rather than just refusing the tap.
Play your way
A table to yourself
Play offline against computer opponents. Choose from three difficulties, and leave a solo hand to finish later.
Friends nearby
Bring 2-8 players together on the same local network. No account or internet needed.
iPhone & iPad together
Play on either device, in portrait or landscape. Friends can join the same local game from an iPhone or iPad.
Good company. Questionable manners.
Fourteen characters join you for solo games, with plenty to say about the cards you play. Vintage computer fans might recognise a few of the personalities. Meet Sid, Speccy and The Scribe.
Sid
C64-1982
From a universe of three-voice symphonies and 64 honest kilobytes. Smug about it.
Speccy
ZX-1984
From a universe of bedroom coders, rubber keys, and glorious clashing colour. Plays chaos.
The Scribe
MAMLUK-1370
From the origin universe — the first Rachel, before the world knew it. Teaches while winning.
The rest of the table includes a Victorian gambler and a ghost from 2077. Their table talk gives you someone to beat, even when you're playing alone.
The vintage connection goes beyond the characters. Rachel also has a VIC-20 version and a playable C64 development build, with more ports underway. Explore the vintage versions.
Settle in at your table
Use VoiceOver to follow the game, make the text larger or give each suit its own colour. Rachel follows your accessibility settings.
VoiceOver throughout
Hear the cards, whose turn it is, what your opponents play and the result of the game.
Dynamic Type
The table, the cards and the menus all scale with your preferred text size, up through the accessibility sizes.
Four-colour suits
Print diamonds in blue and clubs in green, so no two suits share a colour. Your choice, kept whichever theme you play in.
Contrast and motion
Rachel supports Increased Contrast for the cards and table, and Reduce Motion for animations.
If something is hard to read or use, tell Steve.
Also on some rather older computers
Rachel also runs on the VIC-20 and Commodore 64. Both versions play solo with up to seven computer opponents, without a modem or server. The VIC-20 needs an 8KB memory expansion; the C64 uses its own RAM.
The C64 development build can also reconnect to an interrupted online game and recover its seat and hand. Solo play and network recovery have been tested in emulation. Physical hardware testing is still pending, and there is currently no public server for vintage multiplayer.
See Rachel on the C64, explore the VIC-20 release, or read the shared network protocol.
Take a seat
Deal a solo hand or bring your friends. Try to leave them holding the cards.
