- Game Play
- Deal
- This is a standard single-deck Klondike Solitaire game where 28 cards are dealt to the tableau across 7 columns and the other 24 cards are dealt to the reserves.
- The first column on the tableau has a single card in it & each subsequent column has one more card than the prior column.
- The bottom card of each column on the tableau is face up with the remaining cards being dealt face down.
- Playing
- On the tableau build down in sequential order while alternating suit colors.
- Any card (or any run of cards) can be moved to an open column on the tableau.
- Build the suited foundations in ascending order starting with the Aces.
- You can shuffle through the reserves an unlimited number of times.
- Reserves are dealt turn 1.
- Since the reserves are dealt turn 1 you should always prefer to play cards from the tableau over cards from the reserves when you have a choice between the two.
- Cards which have been laid to a foundation can not be returned to play on the tableau.
- The game autoplays some cards to the foundation when all cards from the tableau and reserves are face up.
- You can also resort columns on the tableau and manually move cards to the foundations.
- Levels
- This game has 9 levels. with each level representing one of Santa Clause’s reindeers.
- You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over.
- Level timers
- The first level gives you 6 minutes to beat it.
- Each subsequent level gives you 20 fewer seconds to beat it.
- You have 3:20 to beat the final level.
- Game over vs continue
- If you run out of valid moves remaining an End Game button will appear in an overlay.
- If you click that button your game ends, your gameplay data is erased, and you can submit your score.
- If you want to continue your game & try the level you lost on again then do not click the End Game button. Instead refresh your web browser then select the play button on the welcome screen to continue your prior game.
- If you run out a time a try again button appears alongside the end game button, where the try again button is a continue button.
- Scoring
- Your game score is cumulative across levels.
- Each card you move to a foundation is worth 50 points.
- Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 3 points.
- Strategy
- Since the reserves are turn 1 it makes sense to play from the tableau whenever possible.
- Try to create open columns on the tableau early so that you can see what cards are under other columns. You can use the move undo button repeatedly to cycle through various options.
- Track how the available moves count changes when you make moves to determine how helpful multiple move options are against each other.
- Turn all the cards on the tableau face up as early as possible and then get all the remaining cards from the reserves onto the tableau or face up so that the autoplay to foundations feature can save you a lot of time & boost your score.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Klondike Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
