Playing the game
The goal in this game is of course to move all cards to the eight foundation piles to the right - building
up from Aces to Kings and down from Kings to Aces. At start, there are 21 cards in the middle
Garrison.
On each side of them are the four
Gate cards. And framing them are the eight
Wall cards.
To the left is the
Bank pile with the remaining 63 cards, and below that is the Preview pile.
Here is how you do it:
- By clicking on the Bank pile you can turn cards over to the Preview pile below. When emptied, you can
click it again to turn them back. How many times you are allowed to do that, is specified in the Settings
dialog.
- You can drag cards to the Foundation piles from Preview, Wall and Gate. And you may also drag
cards between the Foundation piles with the same suit. When a card is dumped from the Gate, its place is
filled with a card from Garrison. When a card is dumped from the Wall, its place is filled from either the
Preview or the Bank pile.
- You can also dump cards by double-clicking them. The program will first check the 'Aces to Kings'
pile, but you can drag the card to the other pile if you want to.
- If you haven't checked the 'Auto remove card suits' in the Settings dialog, you can also click the 'Dump
button'. Then the program will move all cards that are ready for the Foundation piles.
Right-clicking the Exit button will show the background without any disturbing buttons and cards.
Right-clicking the background will restore the window.
Clicking the score panel will turn on a small win/lose
video in that panel.
Clicking it again will close it.
