SHUFFLE CATS GUIDE
King decided to take a break from all the Candy Crush Saga and other Saga games and deliver something different: a card game! Suffle Cats is the name of the new game from King and, just like all their other products, it’s extremely easy to play and at the same time insanely addictive. It is based on the Rummy game (but with simplified rules), so many of you will probably feel at home with it. And we’re here to help everybody get better at the game by sharing some Shuffle Cats cheats and tips to help you win all games!The truth is that, just like most games out there, King’s latest title is one where luck plays a major factor and you could still lose if you are extremely lucky, no matter how strategic you play. But for all the other occasions, we’ve got you covered so let’s check out our Shuffle Cats cheats and tips below!
1. It’s all about the Lucky charms
As you progress through the game, you will unlock various Lucky Charms that give you special powers in the game. The first one that you will unlock and against which you’ll be playing many of your games is the Queens & Kings charm which gives double points for playing these cards. So make sure you make everything out of your Lucky Charms and use the bonuses to your advantage.
For example, when holding a Queens & Kings charm, you should always try to pick up any dropped Queens or Kings by your opponent, as long as they are not completely useless. If you have something that could, at least in theory, help you create a set, pick up that card instead as it’s worth double points. Also, try to only dump into the discard pile a Queen or King as a last resort if the opponent has the Lucky Charm: you don’t want to help them get more points easily, do you?
2. Try to remember the cards
I’m not saying that you should become a Pro and start counting cards or something similar, but paying attention can save you from a lot of trouble. Once, I was waiting for a 7 of spades for a match, without realizing that I will never get it since it was already played alongside two other 7s on the board. Pay attention to the discarded cards as well and try to remember which ones were dropped (as well as which ones were picked by your opponent if they don’t use them immediately!) in order to improve your chances of actually matching the cards you have in your hand. Knowing what has been played and what options are no longer possible for your deck is key to victory!
3. Don’t hold onto the cards!
This is a double edged sword, but usually it’s best to just play the meld that you have and worry about getting more points later. If you keep the cards locked in your hand, you will only draw a new card each turn and chances of getting the one you need drop. But if you play 3 or 4 cards in one hand, even if things don’t look insanely good in your hand, things could completely change since you will draw back just as many new cards. It’s true that your opponent can get extra points by adding cards to the ones that you played and sometimes this could win them the game, but it’s usually better to just play the cards as soon as you have them instead of waiting with them in your hand for that final blow!
4. Get all the freebies
There’s not a lot in terms of free gems that King is offering its players, and that’s why you should take advantage and claim all freebies that are offered every few hours in the game. That’s enough to give you a free play in case you run out of Gems completely and basically get you back on track. You can also play the minigame for free once per day.
Also, it seems that the Gold bars can only be used to play the Mini Game right now, so don’t hesitate to give it a few shots if you run our of Gems. It is possible that with future updates King will introduce more uses for the Gold Bars, but right now you should use them for making extra money. And don’t risk too much: when you have one life left in the minigame, collect your Gems and enjoy, otherwise you will only win 1,000 no matter how many you had.
5. Change the order of the cards
You can tap the button in the lower left corner in order to change the order in which the cards in your deck are arranged. Try to do so for a fresh look over your cards and maybe new ideas, but try to find one that works best for you and stick to it because it can get confusing if you keep changing the order. But whatever you do, make sure that you always play all the possible cards in your turn.
6. There’s just one of each card!
Also something extremely important to have in mind: there’s just one of each card, so usually if a card is discarded and definitely if it’s played in a meld, you should consider it gone. There are some occasions when the discard pile will get shuffled and you will have a new chance at getting your required card if it has been discarded previously, but that’s a big risk. Instead, just try to find a different set to work on!
As I said, Shuffle Cats is a game where luck matters a lot, but hopefully the strategies that I have shared with you will help you get the edge when you’re just as lucky as your opponent.

Shuffle Cats is a bit of a departure for King. It’s still a casual puzzler, it’s still polished to the sort of blinding mirror sheen that we’ve come to expect, but there’s a little more meat on the game’s bones than the likes of Candy Crush Saga. That’s not to say that it’s a fully fledged meaty morsel, but there’s definitely something here that you can have a gnaw on when you’re starving for digital entertainment. Plus the multiplayer and social components give you something to aim for. Or more specifically, someone to aim at.
Sure it’s basically just Rummy with a few twists and some cats thrown in for good measure, but it shows that there’s more to King than matching gems, and the turn-based online battles are definitely a good way to let off some steam after a hard day of doing whatever it is you do on a hard day.
To all intents and purposes then, this is a card game. It’s all about making runs and collections of matching cards to score points. You want to hit the points limit before your opponent does to win. It’s a simple core, and like I said, anyone who’s played rummy will get it instantly.
There are a few twists here and there though, as you’d expect. For starters you can add to the cards that your opponent has played to earn yourself some extra points. If they’ve laid down three fours, for example, and you’ve got the other in your hand, you can stick it down for a single point. You can do that in the same turn as laying down your own cards as well, which opens up the possibility of getting some impressive, game-changing scores, and all at the expense of your opponent. Which makes it even more delicious.
Inevitably there are power-ups as well. These change the points you score for playing particular cards, freeze cards in your opponent’s hand, and a variety of other things. They add a layer of strategy to proceedings, but it can be frustrating if your foe has a better power than yours.
Games last a few minutes max, and while there’s some back and forth, it’s usually pretty clear within a short time who’s going to win. There are rarely sweeping last minute victories that grab a win from the jaws of defeat, and that can leave the whole thing feeling pretty flat.
It’s likely the Shuffle Cats is going to get compared to the likes of Clash Royale, and in all honesty it’s not going to be a flattering comparison. It’s lighter on the action than Supercell’s smash hit, and it lacks some of the ideas that made smashing each other’s towers quite so compelling. There’s fun to be had here, but it feels like Shuffle Cats is lacking that final hook that would keep you coming back for more over and over. The reliance on just a handful of special powers means there’s little chance for customisation, which leaves you playing a game that can’t hide the fact it’s based on luck.
It’s super polished though, and there’s a decent chunk of game here to have a nibble at. But in the end it’s a little too throwaway, a little too lacking in the clout that the very best multiplayer games need to tie you down and ensure you’re in for the long haul. Still, it’s worth a crack, and it won’t cost you anything to pick it up. Just don’t expect it to become the new go-to app in your games folder and you should get along with it just fine.
