  • Playing
    • Tableau
      • Place a card which is either one higher or lower than the card in the center of the black hole.
      • When you choose a direction (e.,g. ascending or descending) stick with it for the remainder of the level, as it is easy to leave stray hanging cards if you mix back and forth between ascending and descending. In some cases you will end up needing to switch directions, however if you do it more than once you’ll likely leave cards you can’t get back to.
      • Try to play from cards stacks with more cards on them first & try to save stacks of only 1 card for near the end of the level unless you need to use them to keep the free cells clear.
      • You can temporarily store cards in the the free cells to enable access to other cards.
    • Free cell
      • Levels give you 2 free cells to use.
      • You can place any card from the bottom of a stack in these, but each free cell can hold only a single card.
      • You can play cards from the free cells back into play onto the waste pile in the black hole, which will enable you to use the free cell again.
      • To beat the level the entire tableau of cards must be cleared. You can’t have leftover cards in the free cells at the end of the level.
  • Levels
    • This game has 15 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over at the first level.
    • Level timers
      • The first level gives you 6:59 to complete it.
      • The level time limits decrease as you progress through the game.
      • For example, the time limit on level 3 is 6:10, the time limit on level 4 is 5:47, and the level time on level 5 is 5:23.
    • You beat a level by discarding all cards on the stage into the waste pile before the timer runs out.
      • You can not have any cards in a free cell position or on the tableau at the end of the level or you lose.
      • If you fail a level you can retry it an unlimited number of times.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
