      • You are given 5 minutes to beat the second level.
      • You are given 4 minutes to beat the third level.
  • Tips & strategy
    • Since most of your points come from speed it is key to take advantage of the autoplay to foundations feature to speed up your game.
    • When working on cards on the tableau try to play cards from the stack with the fewest face down cards underneath it first so that you keep creating empty columns, which allow you to lay cards from other columns into the empty space.
    • In some cases early in the game you may need to manually move cards across stacks to reorganize them so you can lay some cards to the foundations to create a space to lay other cards.
    • When you get all the cards on the tableau face up you can rapidly click your mouse through the reserves and leverage the autoplay feature to play cards to the reserves.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Each card you lay to a foundation is worth 10 points, for a maximum card-based score of 520 on each level.
    • Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 150 points.
      • Most of your game’s score will come from time as beating a level with only 4 seconds remaining means you will score more points from time than from cards.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Klondike Solitaire card games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
