Lucky Paws
Build your best hand
About Lucky Paws
Find a pair or flush before discarding. Keep useful cards and replace weak ones. Build around your cats: pair upgrades suit Twins, while higher hand levels strengthen Professor. Check the next enemy in the café before upgrading. Keep a second hand type ready for repeat resistance.
How to play
Start with 8 cards from a 52-card deck. Select 1–5 cards to play or discard; replacements are drawn automatically. Each round allows 4 plays and 2 discards. Only cards forming the strongest poker pattern score: a pair scores two cards, without kickers. Base chips plus card values are multiplied by the multiplier; cats and upgrades add bonuses. Aces score 11 chips, face cards 10; aces can be low or high in a straight. Reach the target to recruit up to 3 cats, sell companions or upgrade hands to level 8 in the café. Clear 15 rounds across 3 chapters. Bosses at rounds 5, 10 and 15 grant 3 extra treats. Tap enemy icons for resistance details; the café previews the next enemy. Suit resistance reduces only scoring-card rank chips. Other penalties multiply the final score; each reduction rounds down. Rankings include all played points, even in the last incomplete round. Round income: 5 + unused plays + unused discards; bosses add 3. Classic runs only; no daily challenge. Each of the three upgrades can be purchased once. Purchased choices stay marked; paid refresh replaces all three. Cat and upgrade refreshes cost 1, 2, 3… treats separately and reset at the next café.
