About the game

What is Dickory?

Be the first to get rid of your cards in this climbing game with shifting ranks! The game is in the vein of Dai Fugō (**Millionaire**) and involves playing cards from your hands in singles, doubles, triples, quads, or 3-card runs (the variants add 2-card and 4-card runs). There are no suits, and ranks can shift by clever manipulation of a "conveyor belt" queue of cards. Whichever rank is in the rightmost position of the conveyor belt is the highest rank, and the ordering of the remaining ranks shifts according to a circular ranking.
