- Game Play
- Deal
- This is a two-deck game where 44 cards are dealt across 10 columns on the tableau and 60 cards are dealt in the reserves.
- Four columns on the tableau have 5 cards each while the remaining six columns have 4 cards each.
- Cards dealt to the tableau are all dealt face up.
- Reserves
- When cards are dealt from the reserves a card is laid at the bottom of each column on the tableau.
- Reserves are dealt in six rounds of 10, with one card laid to each column.
- All columns on the tableau must have at least one card in them to deal more cards from the reserves.
- Playing
- You get 30 minutes to beat this game.
- On the tableau you can build down regardless of suit.
- You can move any individual card in sequential descending order regardless of suit.
- You may only move sequences of cards at once if they are suited.
- When possible it makes sense to keep the columns as suited as possible & try to build long runs of the same suit.
- You can move any card (or any sequential descending suited run of cards) onto an empty column on the tableau.
- Creating an empty column or two on the tableau makes it easier to reorganize existing cards to help you reorganize the card stacks to build royal flushes. Having multiple empty columns maximizes your flexibility with sorting cards & can help you reveal the under cards that have yet to be turned up when used in combination with the move undo button.
- Building strategy
- Try to create multiple empty stacks early so they can help you rearrange the order of cards in other stacks & complete royal flushes early.
- Get cards as suited and sequential as possible before drawing additional cards from the reserves.
- Foundations are not built a card at a time, but each time a royal flush is completed the associated cards are removed from the playing field.
- Whenever you can’t make any more plays you can deal another set of 10 cards from the reserves.
- Scoring
- Each royal flush is worth 130 points, for a maximum base score of 1,040 points.
- Your remaining time adds to your score with you earning 50 points for each second you have remaining when the game ends.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Spider Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
