How to play

Three peaks of cards stand over a row of ten, with a stock beside them. The card on top of the waste is the one you match.

  • 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 face-up card that is one rank above or below the top of the waste. Ace and king count as neighbours. The card you play lands on the waste and becomes the next one to match, so one play can set up the next.
  • Cards are face down while another card covers them, and turn over as the cards on top are cleared. At the start only the bottom row is face up.
  • When nothing matches, tap the stock to turn a new card onto the waste.
  • You win by clearing all 28 peak cards. You lose when the stock runs out and nothing can be played.

Scoring

  • Each card you play scores 10 times the multiplier. Taking a peak's top card also earns a flat 50.
  • The multiplier starts at 1 and goes up by one with every card you play in a row. Drawing from the stock sends it back to 1, so a long run without drawing is how you score big.
  • Score shows your current deal and Best your highest so far.
