- Game Play
- Deal
- 4 of the 8 free cells start off with a card in them.
- The other 48 cards are dealt directly to the tableau across 8 columns with 6 cards each.
- Playing
- The 8 free cells are across the top of the screen & the 4 suited foundations are to the right side of the game.
- Cards which have been moved to a foundation can not be restored to play.
- You may play any card (or descending suited run of cards) to an open column on the tableau.
- Levels
- This game has a single level with a 10-minute time limit.
- Scoring
- Each card you move to a foundation is worth 20 points, for a maximum base score of 1,040 points.
- If the autoplay feature moves cards to the foundations you do not score any points for those moves.
- Each second you have remaining when you complete the game is worth 30 points.
- Strategy
- Try to get Aces and lower cards to the foundations as quickly as possible.
- Try to leave multiple free cells open at most times to give yourself many play options & only temporarily fill them if doing so allows you to make a run of suited cards that clears many of them out or allows you to play a long run of cards to a foundation.
- Avoid deeply covering Aces or other low cards on long stacks with many suited cards underneath them which may become hard to move.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for people of all ages who like solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
