Create a private room, share the invite link, and your table is dealt in under a minute.
How to play Color Match
- 1Create a free room, pick Color Match, and send the invite link to 2-6 players. Short a player? Add a bot to fill the seat.
- 2Everyone is dealt 7 cards and one card is flipped face up to start the discard pile.
- 3On your turn, play a card that matches the top card's color or number, or play a wild card and choose the color.
- 4Use action cards to shake things up: skips, reverses, draw-twos, and the draw-four wild — which the next player can challenge if they think you played it illegally.
- 5Can't play anything? Draw a card from the deck. If it's playable, you can drop it right away.
- 6Call out when you're down to one card — and pounce on anyone who forgets. First player to empty their hand wins.
