Zilch is an online only multiplayer online card game. The object of the game is to reduce your hand to zero cards before the other players do. You receive points for the amount and type of cards that your opponents have in their hands. Zilch supports two to ten players. If only one person connects to the server, an artificial intelligence bot, named "Console", of novice skill will play against them. The server will keep a list of players and their score and can publish an HTML document on the web of the top ten players.

How to play:
The major objective is to get rid of all of your cards. You can only play a card if it's color matches the color of the current card in play or if it's face value is the same. This means that a Red 3 can be played on any red card or any other 3 card. Cards such as "reverse", "skip", or "draw two" can be played the same way. Wild cards can be used to change the color of the current card. You can use this to your advantage when you do not have any cards with the same color of the current card. If you don't have any cards to play at all you must draw a new card by clicking on the deck (the upside down card with Z on the back of it).
