Basic rules
This game is a variation of the traditional Tower of Hanoi formula.
The movement rules are the same. Cards can only be moved to blank spaces or on top of higher valued cards.
This game swaps the traditional disks with a stack of playing cards from 9 to Ace.
Rather than merely moving the cards from the leftmost stack to the right, you must form one stack from 3 separate piles.
In these stacks, the cards start off out of order & your job is to use the stacks to make a single organized stack.
Your goal is to build up a stack of cards in one pile in the proper order.
You can form the finished stack in any of the three piles.
Move the cards around each of the stacks until you reach your goals.
The level ends when you finish arranging the stack in the correct order.
Scoring
Your game score is cumulative across levels.
At the start of the first level, you begin with -52 points.
The game in turn subtracts 52 points in every subsequent level.
You score points each time you place the numbers in the proper order (9 at the top, 8 on the 9, and so on.)
You also get a bonus if you solve the puzzle within the minimum number of moves.
Take too long and you receive no bonus points.
You have the option to save your score to the leaderboard after finishing all 3 levels.
Assistance
You only have one form of assistance in this game: undos
Each level gives you only 3 undos. You get 3 new undos through each level.
Starting over
If you’re ever stuck, consider starting over using the reset button. It will bring the stacks back to their original configuration
If you want to shuffle the stacks, simply exit to the welcome screen via the pause button, then start the game again.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like stack organizing games.
