MeowRS

MeowRS is a cat-themed Egyptian Ratscrew. Play solo against bots, with a friend on the same keyboard, or online with up to 4 players total!

How it works

• Flip a card on your turn and watch the pile.
• Spot a match (doubles, a sandwich, and more, adjust to your preferences!) and slap first to take the pile.
• Flip a Jack, Queen, King or Ace and you challenge the next player. They get 1, 2, 3 or 4 tries to answer with a face card of their own, or you take everything.
• Slap when you shouldn’t and you lose a card.

Play your way

• Solo against up to 3 bots, or with a friend on the same keyboard (2 humans plus up to 2 bots)
• Online: hit Quick play to be matched into a public room, or make a private room and share a 4-letter code with friends.
• Three bot skill levels: Smooth brain, Normal, and Try hard
• Pick your rules: sandwich, top = bottom, King + Queen, adds to ten, false slaps burning a card, and slapping back in
• Optional time limit from 1 to 60 minutes/infinite. When time is up, the most cards wins
• Mouse and touch controls as well as the keyboard.
• A “Verbose” setting that shows card counts, what just happened, and hints for newer players

Controls

• Player 1: A to flip, S to slap (Enter/F and Space also work when playing solo)
• Player 2: K to flip, L to slap
• Mouse or touch: click your deck to flip, click your paw to slap (when playing solo, you can click the pile too)
• Esc: pause
