    • Each level of the game has a unique layout.
      • Only cards which have no card on top of them are face up, with any cards that are under another card face down.
      • The board layout is unique to each stage, though is the same across all 3 difficulty levels within each stage.
    • The amount of cards you have in the reserves & the number of Jokers you have to use depend on the difficulty level you select.
      • Higher difficulty gives you fewer cards to work with.
      • You can alter the difficulty level at the beginning of each stage.
  • Playing
    • Tableau

      • Kings are removed individually.
    • You can pair together any combination of cards that are not covered by another card
      • 2 cards on the pyramid
      • a card on the pyramid and a card on the reserves
      • a card on the pyramid and a Joker
  • Levels
    • This game has 30 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t replay previously beat levels without starting the game over at the beginning.
      • Each level gives you 5 minutes to complete it.
    • Before starting each level of the game you can choose to play it on Easy, Normal, or Difficult mode.
      • On easy you get 3 Jokers per level.
      • On medium you get 2 Jokers per level.
      • On difficult you get 1 Joker per level.
      • On higher difficulty levels you also get fewer cards dealt to the reserves.
    • If you fail a level you can try again or end your game.
      • When you try again the board layout will be the same, but the cards in each position on the tableau may have a different value.
      • You can choose to play a different difficulty level when you try again.
  • Tips
    • Try to work on the cards which have the most other cards underneath them, or the moves that allow you to unlock the most other cards into play.
      • Whenever a card has no cards underneath it on the tableau you should only use that if no other play options are available.
      • Don’t be afraid to use a Joker early in the level if a card has many other cards blocked underneath it.
    • Jokers vs reserves
      • You have a limited number of each to clear the tableau.
      • Remaining Jokers have the same nominal value at the end of the level as other reserve cards, so it makes sense to use Jokers early in the game, particularly if you are playing on easy mode & have multiple Jokers to use.
    • Undos
      • If you have 2 parallel options you can use the move undo feature to take a sneak peak of the outcome of each choice.
      • Using the move undo feature does not cost you points.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Your difficulty level determines how many points you score.
    • Each 13 you make is worth 100 points on easy, 150 points on normal, and 200 points on hard.
    • Each Joker or reserve card you have remaining in reserves is worth 200 points on easy, 300 points on normal, and 400 points on hard.
    • Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth a point.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Pyramid Solitaire card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
