Kivo is an independent multiplayer memory card game for players who enjoy low-score, hidden-card memory games in the same broad family as Cabo-style play. You play in a browser with friends — Real Life phone-table mode is available now. Lowest score wins.
Kivo is a multiplayer memory card game with its own identity, interface, modes, artwork, and progression. Each player starts a round with four face-down cards and privately looks at exactly two of them. From then on you must remember hidden information as cards move. Kivo is playable online in a browser and can be installed as an app on your device.
How the gameplay works
On your turn you draw from the deck or take the visible discard, then replace a hidden card or discard what you drew. Discarded 7–8 offer Peek, 9–10 offer Spy, and 11–12 offer Swap. Values 0–6 and 13 have no ability. You may Call Kivo to end the round after everyone else gets one last turn. Lowest hand total wins the round. A failed call adds +10 to that round.
Ways to play
