Game Play
Deal
This game uses a single standard 52-card deck.
28 cards are dealt to the tableau in a pyramid formation, with all cards on the tableau face up.
24 cards are dealt to the stock.
Playing
You can only shuffle through the reserves once.
Play cards from the tableau to the waste pile which are one higher or lower than the card atop the waste pile.
This game is far harder than ordinary Tripeaks Solitaire for the following reasons
You can only shuffle through the reserves once.
As you progress through the tableau the potential matching set gets narrower near the top.
You have to match more cards on the tableau than you have in the reserves, meaning you need to make a lot of progress early in the game while clearing many cards in sequential runs.
Tips
The order you remove cards in impacts your play going forward. Look at the cards above to see which plays are enabled (and which ones are potentially blocked) by making a particular play.
If you can move in both directions you can play the next card to the waste pile from the stock and then use the move undo feature to help determine which path you should take. You can undo up to 3 moves per game.
Sometimes it is best not to make a play if a card you could use would be helpful to make other matches. For example, if you have two inaccessible sevens and an accessible eight which is adjacent it may not make sense to play that eight right away & instead save it for when you can play it along with the sevens.
Levels
This is a single level game.
Scoring
Each card you remove from the tableau is worth 10 points for a maximum card-based score of 280 points.
If you clear all cards from the tableau you also earn a time-based bonus, which can exceed 50,000 points.
