The rules

Each player makes four predictions: red/black, higher/lower than the first card, between/outside the first two ranks, then a suit. Aces are low; equal ranks score zero in comparisons. Each correct prediction earns one point. Wrong guesses still continue to the next stop. Everyone takes one four-stop ride; most points wins.

What you need and how to start

Choose Ride the Bus and select the player count for a shared-device game; names are optional. Alternatively, create a room and invite friends to join on their own phones.

In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.

Open the web app in your device’s browser. Playing requires JavaScript. Multiplayer rooms require an internet connection on every device. Use the game’s ? button whenever you want to check the rules.
