Game Play
Deal
This game uses a standard deck of 52 cards plus two creature or monster cards that act as wildcards.
Rather than using the standard Tripeaks Solitaire board layout, each level has a unique layout.
Playing
Move cards which are one higher or one lower than the card atop the waste pile onto the waste pile.
The deck wraps. A King can appear before or after an Ace or a Queen.
When no more moves can be made draw another card from the reserves.
Cards which do not have a number on them are wildcards or Jokers. You can lay any card atop them.
Levels
This game has 40 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
You can go back and replay previously beat levels to try to earn a better score on them.
Your new score only replaces the old score if you earn a higher score.
Level timer
Each stage gives you 1:59 to clear the tableau.
If you run out of cards or fail to beat a level on time it will bring up a level failed screen.
Select Try Again to play again. You get unlimited continues.
Selecting End Game will allow you to submit your game score, but will erase your game progress.
Tableau cards
The first stage has 7 cards on the tableau, 1 card on the waste pile, and 46 cards in reserves.
As you advance through the game more cards are on the tableau & fewer in the reserves.
Strategy
Try to remove cards with the most cards underneath them so that you open up the other cards for quick play.
If you have multiple of the same card showing and can make a play in either direction it is usually best to go with clearing out one of the cards you have duplicates of so that you have more diversity on the tableau and are not in dire need of many cards in a small range late in the game.
Scoring
Your game score is cumulative across levels.
You tend to score fewer points in later levels as more of the cards are on the tableau and the level layouts grow more complex, requiring more time to complete them.
Each card you discard from the tableau is worth 50 points.
Some Tripeaks Solitaire games have a chain bonus, but on this game each card has the same value.
Each move you undo costs you 100 points (or technically 50 for cards on the tableau since you regain 50 back when you play the card again).
Each card you have remaining in the reserves when you beat a level is worth 200 points.
Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 10 points.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like Tripeaks Solitaire card games.
The game has no adult themed content.
