Game Play
Deal
This game uses a standard deck of cards.
All 52 cards are dealt directly to the tableau across 13 stacks, with each stack having 4 cards.
Playing
Build down on the tableau while alternating suit colors.
Empty spaces on the tableau can be filled in by Kings or valid runs of cards which start with a King.
Build the 4 suited foundations in ascending order starting with the Aces.
The autoplay function is rather aggressive with laying cards to the foundation.
This helps you finish the game quickly, which maximizes your score.
In some cases the autoplay can play cards you still need to use to move other cards. When this happens you can undo the move and then either move another card atop the card the autoplay moved, or turn autoplay off temporarily until you can make such a move.
Levels
This game has 3 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over.
Levels are the exact same other than the time limit given to beat each.
The first level gives you 5 minutes.
The second level gives you 4:40.
The third level gives you 4:20.
Scoring
Your game score is cumulative across levels.
Each card you lay to the foundation is worth 20 points, for a maximum card-based score of 1,040 on each level.
Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 150 points.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like Klondike Solitaire card games.
The game has no adult themed content.
