How to play

Tossing Cards

A daily card flicking game. Each day has one room: a bowl somewhere across the floor, ten playing cards in your hand, a bit of wind, and sometimes a couch, a lamp or a cat in the way. Everyone gets the same room and the same cards.

The basics

1. Touch or click anywhere in the room, drag back, and flick upward toward the bowl.
2. A faster flick throws harder. Flick at an angle to hook the card around a prop.
3. Watch the wind: it shifts a little between throws and bends the card in flight.
4. A card in the bowl scores its value (aces 11, picture cards 10). One that lands on the rim scores half. All ten in earns a 25 point bonus.

One room a day

You get ten cards in today's room, once. A new room opens at midnight Pacific time. Finish the ten, whatever your score, and your streak goes up by one.

Sharing

When the round ends, share your result: the room, your score, how many cards went in and a row of squares, one per card. On a phone the share includes a picture of your round.

Practice

Want more? The practice edition on One Page Toys has as many rounds as you like. Practice never counts toward your streak.

Questions

Is Tossing Cards free?

Yes. Today's room is free in your browser, with no account and nothing to install.

When is there a new room?

Every day at midnight Pacific time (3 AM Eastern, 8 AM in London). Everyone gets the same room, the same cards and the same wind.

Can I play the daily more than once?

No. Today's room is ten cards, once, and a refresh picks up where you left off instead of starting over. For unlimited rounds, play the practice edition on One Page Toys. Practice never counts toward your streak.

How does the streak work?

Finish today's ten cards, whatever your score, and your streak goes up by one. Miss a day and it starts again. It's saved in your browser.

Is there an app?

An iPhone and Android app is on the way. Until then, Tossing Cards plays in any browser, on your phone or computer.

I lost my streak. Can you restore it?

Your streak lives in your browser on your device, so clearing site data or switching browsers starts it again. There is no account to restore it from.

How do I stop the daily email?

Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom; one click and you're off the list.
