Seven Kings 523 · 3-Player Cards
Rules, steps and tips — learn it in one read and start playing
Seven Kings 523 is a three-player point-collecting card game: one 54-card deck (jokers included), 5 cards each with 39 left in the deck. Whoever's play survives a round collects every card played on the table that round and refills their hand. After all 54 cards are played, the highest score takes the whole pool.
- Log in and pick Quick Match (3 players) or "1 vs 2 AI"
- Each player gets 5 cards; the holder of the lowest card (♦4) leads and may play singles, pairs, triples, straights, bombs and more
- Take turns beating the table, or tap Pass if you cannot
- Once both other players pass, the last player collects every point card played that round and everyone refills to 5 cards starting with them
- After all 54 cards are played, the highest score wins the 30-point pool
- Ranking (high to low): 7 > Big Joker > Little Joker > 5 > 2 > 3 > A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 6 > 4, ties broken by suit ♠ > ♥ > ♣ > ♦
- Combos: single / pair / joker pair / triple / triple+pair / straight (≥3 consecutive, 3–A) / four+one / bomb (4 of a kind)
- Same length and same type compares by power; more cards of the same rank "pengs" over a shorter group (a pair of 4s beats a single 4)
- A bomb beats anything but a bomb; the joker pair is the strongest
- A 5 is 5 points, 10 and K are 10 each — 100 points per deck, and the collector takes every point card played that round
- Final ranking decides the winner; ties go to the player who collected more rounds
- The 7 is the strongest card — save it for the decisive moment
- Point cards (5 / 10 / K) are where the real points are, so even a big card is worth spending to take a scoring round
- Bombs and the joker pair are best used to grab point cards, not spent casually
- Use the tracker panel to see which point cards have not appeared yet
How much does a round cost?
Each game costs a 10-point entry fee into the pool; in a 3-player game the winner takes all 30 (net +20).
How do I win?
After all 54 cards are played, the highest score wins; ties go to the player who collected more rounds.
Why is the 7 bigger than the jokers?
That is the core twist of Seven Kings 523: the number 7 is the strongest card in the deck, which gives the game its name.
Why only 5 cards in hand?
That is the collecting format — each round the collector leads the refill back up to 5 cards until the whole deck is played.
