Royal Pairs

About this game

Royal Pairs is a snappy drag-and-match game where you drag cards onto matching ranks to clear the court board, chain fast pairs into combos, and climb from Rookie to Legend in this cheerful card games pick for quick sessions. Play the date-seeded Daily board, a timed Free Run, or a no-pressure Relaxed board with Pippa, Prince Milo, or Jester Jax cheering you on.

How to play

1. Drag a card onto another card with the same rank letter (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7) — or tap one card, then tap its match.
2. Matching pairs clear and score points; pairs made within a few seconds chain a combo multiplier up to x5.
3. Clear all 8 pairs before the 90-second timer runs out in Free Run and Daily. Relaxed has no timer.
4. Tap Hint to glow a matching pair, and watch for milestone callouts every 2 pairs.
5. Try the Daily board for the same deal as everyone else today, or pick a different royal mascot for style.

Tips

• Scan for the rarest letters first — A and K pairs are the easiest to spot on a crowded board.
• Chain pairs quickly: the combo multiplier, not single pairs, is where big scores come from.
• A miss costs nothing but the combo, so a fast wrong guess is cheaper than a slow safe board.
