Manipulation — The Card Game
Build melds, reshape the table, outplay everyone
Manipulation is a free browser card game for 2–8 players using two decks. Build sets or same-suit runs of three or more, then reshape the shared table by moving cards between melds—so long as every pile remains valid. Play timed or untimed, across devices with a room code, against bots, or control several seats yourself. Four rotating rounds and a golf-style scorecard reward the lowest score. No download or ChatGPT sign-in required.
Hi Product Hunt! I built Manipulation because I love card games where the board stays alive after each turn. The twist is that melds aren’t permanent: once cards reach the table, every player can rearrange them, extend them, or split them—as long as all resulting piles are still valid sets or same-suit runs of 3+.
This first release supports 2–8 players, private room codes for different devices, bots, timed and untimed play, rotating starters, and a four-round golf-style scorecard. It’s free and works in the browser with no account required.
It’s still an early version. The bots make straightforward legal plays, and there’s no ranked matchmaking, profiles, or tournaments yet. I’d especially love feedback on rules that feel unclear, multiplayer edge cases, and the table layout on smaller screens. Thanks for playing!
