GetLow!
A free card game for Android, iPhone and the browser, where the lowest score wins. Eight cards each, face down. Swap, flip and match a column to wipe it out, and end the round only when you are sure you are lowest. Play friends online, pass one device around for up to four people, or take on computer rivals, in three themes and three sets of rules.

- House: nine rounds, pairs stay on the table, and matching the same number twice earns a bonus

Questions about the game.
Is GetLow! free?
Yes. It is free to download and play, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no account.
How many people can play?
Up to four. Play friends online on your own phones, pass one device around for two, three or four people, or fill the empty seats with computer players on Easy, Normal or Hard.
How do I play a friend online?
Open GetLow! in the app, tap Play online, start a game and send the invite. Your friend taps the link and joins, from the app or straight from their browser. Starting a game needs the app; joining does not.
What are house rules?
A second way to play. The game runs nine rounds, matched pairs stay on the table and score nothing, and pairing the same number in more than one column earns a bonus. You can also hold your last face-down card until the time is right. Official rules clear pairs and double the score of anyone who ends a round without the lowest total.
What are European rules?
A third way to play with a bigger hand. Everyone gets twelve cards in three rows of four, and a column only clears when all three of its cards show the same number. The rest works like official rules: games run to 50 or 100, and ending a round without the lowest score doubles your points.
How do I install it on iPhone?
Open sempite.com/play/getlow in Safari, tap the Share button, then tap Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen from its own icon and keeps working offline after the first load.
How do I install it on Android?
Tap Download for Android, open the file when it finishes, and allow your browser to install apps if Android asks. That permission is only needed the first time.
Is it in the Google Play Store or the App Store?
Not yet. For now GetLow! is distributed directly from sempite.com, signed by SEMPITE.
Does it save my game?
Yes. Games on your own device save after every turn, so you can close it and pick the same game up later. Online games are kept on the SEMPITE game server, so anyone can close the app and rejoin.
