Playing the game
To win the game you must remove all the cards in the columns to the dump pile below.
Here is how you do it:
- From the start you have 17 cards in the bank pile at left, and one card is then flipped by the program to the dump pile on the right side.
- Cards in the columns can be removed if they have a value of 1 below or 1
above the top card in the dump pile. This is done by clicking them.
- Column cards can of course only be removed if they are completely exposed with no
overlapping cards.
- The markers above the columns will show you if there is a card allowed to remove there.
- When you move the cursor over a card that is allowed to be removed, it will change to a hand.
- If you can't remove the remaining column cards with the last card flipped
from the bank pile, the game is lost.
Program settings:
- You can allow Aces to have a value of 1 or 14.
In this way you can remove either a King or a 2 with an Ace.
- In the Settings dialog you can check the 'One wild card' option before
starting a game. This will place a Joker to the left of the bank pile. When
this Joker is clicked, it will allow you to remove one card of your choice
from the columns.
