How to play

Some cards start face down. Uncover them by moving the cards on top, and use the stock for cards you cannot reach any other way.

• 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 the stock to turn one card onto the waste beside it. When the stock runs out, tap it again to turn the whole waste back over. You can go round as many times as you like.
• Tap a face-up card to pick up that card and every card on top of it, as long as they step down one rank at a time and alternate red and black. The whole run moves together. Tap the waste to pick up its top card.
• A run lands on a pile whose top card is one rank higher and the opposite colour. Only a king, or a run led by a king, can go on an empty pile.
• A foundation starts with an ace and takes the next card of the same suit, one rank up, one card at a time. Tap a foundation while holding a single card to place it.
• Moving the top card off a pile turns the next one face up. Face-down cards cannot be picked up.
• Tap the card you are holding to put it back.
• You win when all four foundations are built up to the king.

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.

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