- Basic rules
- Layout
- On the top left and bottom right corners of the game are the windows, which hold the 8 open cards.
- The tableau consists of 2 wheels:
- The 6 wheel, to the left.
- The 7 wheel, to the right.
- The draw pile is located on the center of the 6 wheel.
- The discard pile is found on the center of the 7 wheel.
- Card movement
- The game starts with 8 cards already dealt in the open card windows.
- Your task is to build piles of cards by suit in each of the wheels.
- The 6 wheel is sorted in descending order (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace)
- The 7 wheel is sorted in ascending order (7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King)
- The card can either go on the slot or in the discard pile.
- Select a card to move it to its destination.
- If the card has a valid position on one of the wheels it is automatically played there & if it does not it is placed on the discard pile.
- Once a card is in the discard pile, you will not be able to get it again until you re-draw the pile, or until you work down any cards atop it on the discard pile by playing them to a valid position on a foundation.
- Keep discarding and placing cards until you run out of cards in the draw deck.
- Select the empty draw pile to flip over the discard pile.

- Tips
- The first thing you need to do is deploy any 8s or 5s you have on the windows.
- Free up windows by discarding a few cards if you don’t start with any 8s or 5s.
- If you can build up piles in order, do so.
- Selection order is the key.
- You must choose which cards to retain and which to discard.
- If you think that the card will be useful in the immediate future, retain it.
- Plan your discards with care.
- This is perhaps the most important part of this game. Disposing of the cards in the right order can help you arrange the piles with ease.
- At first, you might want to dispose of some high- or low-value cards as they might not be needed on the first pass.
- In particular, it is always worth discarding Kings and Aces to open up window places for other cards. If the discard pile only has Kings and Aces you will always be able to work your way back down through it so long as you get the other cards in position.
- On your first pass you may also want to discard Queens and 2 cards.
- If you have a duplicate of a card and it is not near the center that is fairly safe to discard one of them. Similarly, if you have a run of cards in sequential order but are missing some cards you can (at least on the first pass) put that run of cards on the discard pile knowing you will be able to come back and play them on the next pass through.
- In general it is best not to discard any cards valued near the middle (e.g. 4, 5, 8, or 9) as you will need to lay those before you can work your way outward toward the highest or lowest cards in that suit.
- When discarding a run of consecutive cards try to place them in the order where if you got the missing card between them and where your foundation is currently at you can play them all. This means lay in descending order to the waste pile if the card sequence is above 7 & lay in ascending order to the waste pile if the card sequence is below 6.
- Placing too many high value cards or low value cards in the pile too soon can stymie your ability to complete each pile.
- Choose a mix of cards based on what you’d expect to draw when you flip the discard pile.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
