Try to remove all the cards from the table. Use as few moves as you can to get higher scores.
On The table
There are 10 columns of 5 to 6 cards, with top cards facing up and other cards facing down. The rest of the cards is in the pile on the upper left corner of the table, facing down. The Beginner level has only one suit of cards, while the Intermediate level has two and the Advanced level has four.
How to play
• To win the game, you must remove all cards from the table.
• You can move a card onto another card (of any suit) that precedes it in sequential descending order. When the new top card of a pile faces down, it gets upturned.
• A complete series of card the cards gets removed when all cards are stacked in sequential descending order, starting from King and ending in Ace. In Intermediate and Advanced levels, the cards must also match suit. Spades must be matched with spades, hearts with hearts, diamonds with diamonds, and clubs with clubs.
• When out of moves, cards can be drawn from the pile. However, drawing will fill the entire top row with a whole set of new cards facing up. Even empty slots are filled.
• Cards that are of the same suit and are in sequential descending order are treated as a single card, and can be moved as a group.
Scoring
In the beginning, you start with a score of 500.
When moves are made, points are deducted from the total score. To get high scores, you have to finish the game with as few moves as you can.
Tips
• Try to clear entire columns as quickly as possible to make room for newer cards.
• Before drawing make sure that no moves are possible.
• Start from higher cards such as Kings and Queens.
To win the game
Complete four stacks of cards in the Home cells on the top right corner.
Each stack of cards must be from the same suit and must be in sequential ascending order starting from Ace to King.
On The table
On the table, the 28 cards are arranged into seven columns.
The first column contains only one card. The second column contains two cards, and so on, until the last column which contains seven cards. Only the top card of each column is facing up.
There is a pile for drawing on the top left corner, with all cards facing down.
The four Home cells are located on the top right corner, and are initially empty.
How to play
• Each Home cell must start with an Ace and be filled in sequential ascending order. Cards in a Home cell must also follow suit.
• Columns must be arranged in sequential descending order. The colors of the suits, however, must alternate between red and black. As cards are moved, when the new top card of a pile faces down, it gets upturned.
• To fill an empty column, you must start with a King.
• Cards that are in sequential descending order and alternate between red and black are treated as a single card and can be moved to other columns.
• You may draw cards from the pile: cards get upturned one by one, and the pile cycles when all cards are drawn. The upturned card can be moved onto a column or a Home cell when there is a match.
• There is an undo button on the bottom right corner in case you get stuck.
Tips
• As each Home cell must start with an Ace, you should try to find Aces by moving cards on the table or drawing from the pile of cards. It is advised to complete all Home cells at the same pace, so as not to create an imbalance in the columns.
• You get better chances of winning when you upturn as many cards as possible in the columns. Do only draw cards from the stack when no move is possible with cards from the columns.
