How to play
Exhaust the stock and clear all thirteen layout positions and all four high-card reserves.
- Thirteen cards fill the layout, thirty-nine remain in stock, and four temporary reserves begin empty. Cleared layout spaces normally receive the next stock cards.
- Remove two cards valued Ace through Nine when they total ten. Move a Ten, Jack, Queen, or King into an empty reserve only when every occupied reserve has that same rank; four matching cards clear together.
- Exhaust the stock and clear all thirteen layout positions and all four high-card reserves.
Strategy tips
- Start a high-card quartet only when several copies are visible, because partially occupied reserves suspend layout refills and reduce the number of available number cards.
- Do not mix high-card ranks in the reserves or treat a Ten as a single removal; Tens follow the same four-of-a-kind process as the three picture ranks.
- Before collecting the final quartet, check that every remaining low card can pair to ten once the reserves clear and the last stock cards refill the gaps.
