Game Play
- Levels
  - The game has 5 levels.
  - You are given 3:20 to beat each level.
  - Levels are dealt in a similar layout, however you get 1 fewer free cell for each stage.
    - The first stage has 4 free cells & the final stage has zero.
- Deal
  - This game uses a single deck of 52 cards.
  - 28 cards are dealt to a pyramid with the top row having 1 card and the bottom row having 7 cards.
  - 24 cards are dealt across the bottom in 8 columns of 3 cards each.
- Playing
  - Tableau moves
    - You can move cards from either the bottom section or the pyramid to a free cell.
    - Cards from any of the 3 locations can be paired off into pairs summing to 13 (where Kings are removed individually).
    - Once cards have been removed from the playing field they can not return.
    - You can only play a card which does not have any cards stacked underneath it.
- Strategy
  - Remove Kings immediately as they do not pair with any other cards.
  - Sets on top of each other
    - When a card sits atop its pair get rid of the lower card as soon as you can so that you can match the card it was under with another card.
  - In general you should prefer to remove cards from the pyramid versus the Giza part at the bottom of the screen.
    - The pyramid goes 7 levels deep and the Giza part only goes 3 levels deep.
    - When you have a single card on any Giza level there should be no rush to play it unless necessary to pair it off with another card that opens up the board as you do not need to remove it to enable other plays since no cards are directly above it.
- Free cells
  - You can store cards temporarily in the free cells to enable other plays, but should try to keep those cells empty most of the time.
- Scoring
  - Your game score is cumulative across levels.
  - Each card you remove from the tableau is worth 10 points.
  - Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 2 points.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Freecell Solitaire & Pyramid Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
