How To Play

• You have 60 seconds to clear the decks
• Click any face-up card from the columns to move it to a build pile, as long as it’s one rank higher or lower
• Suits and colors do not matter
• Aces match with both Kings and Twos
• After removing a card from a column, the next card will turn face up
• If a card has a ribbon, playing it will start a new build pile
• If you don't have any more moves, draw a card from the deck
• Drawing a card will deal one card onto each existing build pile

Ending the game

• You win if you clear all the cards from the columns
• You lose if you have no moves left or if the clock runs out.

Scoring

You earn points for:

• Cards Played – every card played onto a build pile, with more points as the run gets longer
• Cards Left – every card left in your deck when you win
• Time Left – every second left on the clock when you win
• Bonus Time – if a time bonus would advance the clock past 1:00, you immediately get points instead
• Bursts of Speed – playing 4 or more cards in very quick succession
• Special Moves – making patterns of cards on the build piles (e.g. “Royal Family Bonus” for K-Q-J)
• Clear All – clear all the cards from a column to add 20 seconds of “bonus time” to the clock

Tips and Tricks

• Try to make the longest run possible (without drawing from the deck) to get the highest score
• Try to play as quickly as possible, to beat the time limit and get the most bonus points at the end
• Go for the ribbon cards first, to maximize the number of plays you can make for the rest of the game
• Choose cards from deeper stacks over shallow ones, so you don’t get stuck with one tall stack at the end
• Try not to empty your stacks too quickly, because it reduces the number of choices you have later
• Collect rare items for the most silver; if you see something shiny in the dirt before the deal, aim for it
