- Game Play
- Deal
- This game uses 104 cards comprising of 2 standard decks of cards.
- 68 cards are dealt to the reserves.
- 36 cards are dealt to the tableau across 9 columns.
- Each column has 4 cards with half of the cards face down and the other half face up.
- The bottom card in each column is face up & so is the card in the middle of the 3 remaining rows.
- The top row and the row above the bottom are face down.
- Playing
- Move cards in descending sequential order around the tableau.
- Whenever you create an empty column on the tableau you can use it to reorganize your card stacks to make them better suited.
- When you can not make any more plays select the reserves pile to draw another set of cards.
- You must have cards in every column of the tableau to be able to deal more cards from the reserves.
- Initially you are dealt 9 cards from the reserves. Then you can play again to try to make moves on the tableau.
- Repeat the process for a total of 7 sets of 9 cards from the reserves & the final and eighth set contains 5 cards which fall on the leftmost columns.
- Strategy
- Try to get all cards on the tableau face up as quickly as you can.
- Whenever you have an open column use it to reorganize your remaining cards.
- If you see multiple of the same card in a row try to break them apart early.
- Don’t be afraid to use the undo button if you are torn between two chances / choices / opportunities. You can also use the undo button after a deal from the reserves to reorganize columns and ensure you do not put a bad card on top of an almost completed run.
- When you are down to the last deal from the reserves be sure to put your best suited runs in the far right and worse runs to the left side of the board as only the first 5 columns of the tableau are dealt cards on the final deal from the reserves.
- Scoring
- Cards are removed from the tableau in suited sets of 13.
- Each set you remove is worth 130 points, yielding a maximum base score of 1,040 points.
- Your remaining time is also worth points. Each second is worth 50 points, meaning that most of your game score will likely come from the time component.
- Target Audience
