• Game Play
  • Laying Cards
    • Lay cards to any of the 4 stacks in the center of the screen in sequential order starting with the Ace and working your way up to the Queen.
    • Kings act as a wild card which can be thrown on any stack at any point in time.
    • Lay preference
      • In almost every situation it is best to use cards from your play stack first.
      • After the play stack the preference should be to deal from your hand, then the discard pile.
      • If you use all the cards from your hand in a turn you are dealt a new set of 5 cards, which you can continue to play on the same turn.
      • At the end of your turn you indicate your turn is over by moving one of the cards from your hand to one of the discard piles on the right.
      • When placing a card on one of your discard stacks it is best to put the same number on itself as frequently as possible to leave as many open play options as you can.
    • Strategy
      • If laying a card from your hand enables your opponent to remove the top card from their Play stack you may want to hold the card in your hand until the next turn, or wait until you can lay multiple cards at once to skip past their play card.
      • For most players the time limit in timed mode is bigger competition than the competing player, so if you have a big lead on the play stack it may make sense to give your opponent some easy lays if it helps you get dealt more cards.
  • Timed mode
    • This game has a total of 3 levels. The first level has an 8 minute time limit & each of the subsequent levels reduce your time limit by 30 seconds.
    • You have to get rid of all 20 of your play stack cards before your competitor gets rid of theirs & before time runs out.
    • If you fail a level you can replay it.
  • Untimed mode
    • Untimed mode is just like timed mode except there is no time limit.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Each card you lay to the middle is worth 50 points.
    • Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 5 points.
