  • Basics
    • You are dealt 5 cards at a time & can only play from the 5 cards shown at the bottom center of the screen.
    • Building walls
      • Select two cards to pair them off.
        • You can match cards with the same numerical value or the same suit to create a triangle as part of the wall.
        • If you pair the wrong cards you can click on them to deselect them.
        • Once you are happy with a pair you can drag it to one of the lines above to have it become part of the pyramid.
      • Wall values must be equal to or lower than the values of the walls underneath it, or else the wall will collapse.
        • If the cards above a set are valued more highly than a set then that segment of the card house will come crashing down.
        • The only exceptions to this rule are if the other set of cards is valued at 20 or 21.
      • There are 2 special card values
        • 20: cards turn green and can be placed atop any other wall piece even the pieces it is on have a lower value
        • 21: cards turn green and can be placed atop any other wall pieces even the pieces it is on have a lower value. In addition, a 21 reinforces the wall pieces directly underneath it, effectively making those act as though they are valued at 21.
    • Building floors
      • Any card can be played as part of the floor.
      • Floor pieces are laid one at a time.
  • Levels
    • This game has 3 levels with a 5 minute timer on each.
    • On each level you must build the pyramid one level taller. The first level is 4 tiers high, the second is 5 tiers high and the final level is 6 tiers high.
  • Strategy
    • Try to avoid putting low value walls in the bottom center.
    • If you must have a low value pair low on the wall try to place it on either edge and reinforce it with a 20 or a 21 above it.
    • Use your floor laying part of the game to get rid of cards which do not easily match with the others in your hand.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • You score 1 point for each second you have remaining on the level timer at the end of each level.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for people of all ages who like playing card house building games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
