Rule highlights
Setup, play, winning, and house rules
Setup
- 1–20 players. Alone, you can chase your best time or race the CPU.
- Choose one suit (spades only, default) or two suits (spades and hearts).
- Everyone gets the same deal and starts together on 3-2-1 (the card faces are hidden until then).
How to play
- Tap a card to select it, then tap where it should go. You can also drag. If a move is not allowed, a × and a short reason appear.
- A card goes on a card one rank higher, whatever its suit, but only a run of the same suit moves together. Any card can go into an empty column. A face-down card turns over when the card on top of it moves away.
- Tap the stock to deal one card onto every column (ten at a time, five times). You cannot deal while a column is empty.
- When a same-suit run from king to ace is complete, that column is removed and counted as a completed run.
- There are no turns: everyone plays their own cards at their own pace. You cannot see other players' cards; the top three names and their progress (%) are shown at the edge of the screen, plus your own rank if you are 4th or lower.
- Progress is the share of the 8 runs completed.
Winning
- The game is solved when all eight runs are complete. Finishers are ranked by time.
- You can keep playing after the target time. Finishers within the limit rank ahead of later finishers, ordered by completion time. Players who press [Quit] rank last. Rounds that go past the limit earn no points.
- The round ends when all human players finish or quit, even if CPUs are still solving. Humans can keep playing if a CPU finishes first. After 60 minutes from the start, results use the progress so far. Unfinished players rank by progress. [Play again] starts the next round.
- With the handicap on, the winner's next deal is one level harder (more if they keep winning). Ranking is still by time.
