How
Playing the game

Starting

     To start playing go to the Options menu and select 'New Game' or just press F2

Playing

     The idea of the game is to get rid of all of the cards in the pyramid. To do this you need to take one of your open cards (a card which isn't blocked by any cards on top of it) and put it on the 'throw out' pile. This pile is located at the upper left corner of the screen. You can only put a card on the 'throw out' pile if it is one above, or one below the card which is currently on the pile. An ace counts as 1, through to King which is 13. An Ace can be put on a King and vice-versa.
     To turn over a new card onto the 'throw out' pile just click on either of the piles or press SPACE.
     To move a card from the Pyramid onto the 'throw out' pile either drag it onto the pile or double-click on the card you want to chuck out.

Winning

  Once you run out of cards in the pile, and you are not able to throw anymore cards away, the game is over, but if you manage to get rid of your whole Pyramid then you win!
