How to play Seep

Each card has a value: A = 1, 2 to 10 as printed, J = 11, Q = 12, K = 13. Only some cards score: every spade is worth its value, the other three aces 1 point each and the 10 of diamonds 6 — exactly 100 points a deal.

1. The bid. The player after the dealer gets four cards and bids a value from 9 to King that they hold. Four cards go on the floor, and the bidder's first move must use the bid — build a house of that value, take with it, or throw it down.
2. The deal. Everyone then gets 12 cards. With two players, the second half of the deck is dealt when the first 12 run out.
3. Take. Play a card to capture every loose card of the same value and every group of loose cards that adds up to it — a 9 takes a 4 and a 5 together. You must take everything the card can.
4. Build a house. Add your card to loose cards to make a pile worth 9 to 13. You must hold another card of that value, because only a card of that value can take the house.
5. Raise or cement. You can raise someone else's house by adding a card from your hand, or cement a house by adding cards that make its value again. A cemented house can no longer be raised.
6. Throw. A card that takes nothing simply goes down on the floor.

Winning a baazi

Points carry over from deal to deal. The first side to lead by the target — 100 points unless the host picks 50 or 200 — wins the baazi. By the usual rule, a side that scores under 9 points in a deal loses the baazi on the spot; the host can switch that off.

Seep with a partner (2 vs 2)

With four players, partners sit opposite each other and pool everything they capture. You can add to your partner's house without having to hold its value yourself, and set them up for a sweep. In the lobby the host can press Change partners to pick the teams.

How Seep works on deckofcardgames

• Private rooms: create a table, share the code or send it on WhatsApp, and your friends join from any phone or laptop.
• Tap a card, then tap floor cards or a house — the buttons tell you exactly what you're about to build, raise or take.
• Cards in your hand that can take something are marked, and the game always takes everything a card can.
• Houses show their value, a 🔒 when cemented, and whose they are.
• Play with bots: practise against an easy, medium or hard bot, or get a bot partner for 2 vs 2.

Seep strategy tips

• Don't leave an easy seep. One or two low cards on the floor are an invitation for a 50-point sweep.
• Build houses on spades. A house with a high spade in it is worth fighting for — and you hold the card to take it.
• Count the kings. Once three kings are gone, a king house is safe for whoever holds the fourth.
• Mind the 10♦. It's worth 6 — never throw it loose if you can help it.
