How to play

All 52 cards lie in the open, so nothing is hidden and nothing is luck once the cards are down. Build all four suits up from ace to king on the foundations.

• Pick a card back from the stacks on the table to start the deal. Tap again while the cards fly and the rest land at once.
• Tap a column to pick up its top run: cards that step down one rank at a time and alternate red and black. Then tap where it should go.
• A run can land on a column whose top card is one rank higher and the opposite colour, or on any empty column.
• A free cell holds one card. Park a card there to free the one under it, and empty the cell again when you can.
• A foundation starts with an ace and takes the next card of the same suit, one rank up. Tap a foundation while holding a single card to place it.
• Tap the card you are holding to put it back. Tapping a spot where it cannot go picks up whatever you tapped instead.
• You win when all 52 cards are on the foundations.

Scoring

The Score under the board is how many cards you have built onto the foundations, from 0 to 52; Best is your highest so far. Every winner reaches 52, so ties go to the fewest moves, then the quickest time.

Leave and come back and your unfinished deal is waiting. End gives up the deal; New stacks a fresh deck.
