4 Colors Multiplayer: empty your hand, collect your rivals' points
4 Colors Multiplayer is a shedding card game by Codethislab in which you get rid of your hand by matching the top card of the pile by color or number, using action cards to slow the other players down. The main menu has two buttons. Multiplayer opens an online lobby of real rooms, where you can search by name, join an open table, press Quick Match or create your own match. Training puts you at a table with computer players, and you choose a game of 2, 3 or 4 seats. Each hand starts with seven cards, and whoever empties their hand first scores the value of every card still held by the others. The first player to 250 points wins the game.

What sets 4 Colors Multiplayer apart
A real online lobby
The Multiplayer screen lists open rooms with player counts such as 1/4 or 2/2, a room search box, Quick Match and Create Match.
Points from other players' hands
The winner of a hand scores the cards left with everyone else; numbers count face value, action cards 20 and wild cards 50.
Wild Draw Three
The strongest card changes the color and makes the next player draw three, but you may only use it when you have no other card to play.
Card-by-card tutorial
Before a training game, a tutorial shows each card type with its effect and point value, and a Skip button lets returning players jump past it.
Tips for 4 Colors Multiplayer
- Unload wilds when a hand is close to ending. Wild cards count 50 points against you if another player goes out first.
- Save Wild Draw Three for when you're stuck. The rules only let you play it when no other card in your hand fits.
- Watch for a missing 1 call. Pressing the button for an opponent who forgot gives them two penalty cards.
- Change color toward your longest suit. After a wild, pick the color you hold most of so your next turns have options.
- Practice in Training first. AI tables of two, three or four let you learn the card values before joining online rooms.
Who is 4 Colors Multiplayer for?
Players who want human opponents
The online lobby fills tables with real people instead of bots.
Families who know the matching card game
Color-or-number matching, skips, reverses and draw cards follow the familiar pattern.
Solo practice players
Training mode is available at any time with one to three AI opponents.
Card values and the 250-point target
Only the player who goes out scores in a hand, and they collect the value of every card still held by the other players. Number cards are worth the digit printed on them. Draw Two, Skip and Reverse are worth 20 points each. Wild and Wild Draw Three are worth 50 each. Hands continue until one player reaches 250 points, which wins the game. A forgotten 1 call that an opponent spots adds two penalty cards to your hand.
