    • Most of the numerical indicators are across the top of the game.
      • The game shows your score, gold, goal, and remaining level time across the top.
    • On the right side of the screen there are buttons to pause the game, control game sound, control game music, and switch to fullscreen mode.
    • Across the bottom of the game you have your reserves, waste pile, Jokers (with count above them), and your current level number.
• Game Play
  • Deal
    • The first stage has 14 cards dealt to the tableau across 4 rows & 18 cards dealt to the reserves and waste piles.
  • Playing
    • Select matching pairs or sets of cards which add up to 11.
      • 1-10, 2-9, 3-8, 4-7, & 5-6 are pairs that add to 11.
      • You can also add sets of 3 or more cards that add to 11 like 1-3-3-4.
      • You can select cards from the tableau, the waste pile or any combination.
      • If you are stuck you can use a Joker with any other card to sum to 11.
        • The Jokers can only be used in conjunction with a single other card. You can’t do 2-7-Joker.
  • Levels
    • This game has 40 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over on the first level.
      • Each board has a unique layout.
    • Level timers
      • The first stage gives you 1:09 to beat it.
        • Other levels have different time limits.
      • If you fail to clear the tableau of cards before the timer reaches zero you lose the level.
        • You can try again as the game offers an unlimited number of continues.
        • You can also submit your score to the high score list, though this erases your game progress and starts you back at the first level.
    • Bonus game
      • At the end of each round there is a bonus game where you select number tiles that sum to a target number.
      • The gold you earn in the bonus round can be used to purchase pieces of a Maya Pyramid.
        • The 4 triangle pieces you need on the edges of the second and third levels cost 850 gold each.
        • The square blocks cost 800, 900, or 950 each, depending on which ones you use. If you follow the example design shown exactly:
          • The top two rows (4 + 6) and the bottom row (10) are the 800 gloves stone (for a total of 16,000).
          • The two center stones in each of the 2 remaining rows (4 total) are also the 800 gloves stone (for a total of 3,200).
          • The three remaining stones on each side of the row up from the bottom (6 total) are the 950 skate stones (for a total of 5,700).
          • The two remaining stones on each side of the third row from the bottom (4 total) are the 900 goggles stones (for a total of 3,600).
        • The top costs 6,600.
        • The stairway costs 2,300.
        • Across 40 stages you would need to earn a total of 37,400 to afford to complete building the pyramid.
      • Early on in the bonus rounds you should aim to try to earn about 1,500 per bonus round, as your earnings for a set level of performance fall as you progress through the game & you need to have 8,900 saved up for the final 2 pieces of the game.
  • Strategy
    • Try to remove the cards which have many other cards underneath them first to open up the playing field.
    • In some cases it makes sense to play other inferior plays if the inferior play allows you to make many consecutive plays on the tableau.
    • Since you can add more than 2 cards together, try to get rid of the 9 and 10 cards on the tableau as early as you can as the other cards are easier to get rid of by making sets of 3 or more if the matching pair card is not available.
    • Don’t be afraid to use a Joker early on the level if doing so opens up a big part of the tableau.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Each pair of cards you remove from the board is worth around 200 points, though it varies depending on how much time it took you to make a move after making the prior move.
    • You also score bonus points based on how much time you have remaining when you beat a level.
    • Your gold savings is dependent upon how quickly you collect buttons in the bonus round.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Pyramid Solitaire card games.
    • We offer a second version of this game themed after Mayan civilization. The game is named Maya Pyramid Solitaire.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
