- Game Play
- Deal
- This game uses a standard deck of 52 cards.
- One card is dealt to a foundation, which sets the card that will also be used later to start the other 3 foundations.
- 4 cards are dealt to the tableau, with each card starting a stack.
- 13 cards are dealt to the reserves.
- The draw stack has the remaining 34 cards in it.
- Playing
- Draw stack
- You can repeatedly shuffle through the draw stack to enable other plays.
- The draw stack are dealt turn 1.
- Tableau
- The tableau contains 4 card stacks where you build down in descending order while alternating suit color.
- The deck wraps, meaning that after you lay an Ace you can lay a King atop it & then keep descending.
- You can move cards back and forth between the stacks on the tableau in order to access cards which were stuck in the middle of a stack.
- Reserves
- Anytime you create an open stack on the tableau one of the 13 cards from the reserves is automatically played to it until the reserves are exhausted.
- Foundations
- The first card laid when the deck is dealt sets the foundation starting point for all 4 suits.
- If the 5 of Hearts is thrown then it means all foundations will start with a 5.
- The 4 suited foundations are built in ascending order starting with the card which was used to being the first foundation.
- These can also wrap, meaning that if you started with a 5 it would go up to King, then wrap back to Ace until you went up to 4.
- Levels
- This is a single-level game.
- Players have 10 minutes to complete all 4 foundations.
- Strategy
- Since this game allows you to sort through the draw stack many times you can do so quickly to look for the remaining 3 foundation start cards & the next sequential card higher for each.
- Playing the reserves
- Whenever possible try to create an open stack on the tableau so the reserves are dealt into the game.
- Be on the lookout for whenever you can play the reserves into the game, as those are the most limiting aspect of the game. The game will automatically play the reserves into an open column on the tableau, but you need to manually drag them into other play positions on another tableau stack or directly onto a foundation.
- Scoring
- Each card placed to a foundation is worth 10 points.
- Each second you have remaining on the clock when you beat the game is worth 5 points.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
