The game layout consists of a 'pyramid' of overlapping cards, with the remainder on a stock pile. The aim of the game is to remove all cards by pairing off cards that total 13. An Ace is worth 1, a Jack 11 and a Queen 12 so that possible pairs are as follows:
Ace + Queen
2 + Jack
3 + 10
4 + 9
5 + 8
6 + 7
K : worth 13 and can be discarded on its own
Double-tap the top card of the stock pile to move it on to the waste pile and hence step through the stock. Cards can be paired off from the pyramid, or from pyramid + stock, pyramid + waste or stock + pyramid. Only completely uncovered cards in the pyramid are available.
Once you have been through the stock and exhausted all possible moves, you are allowed at least one redeal, in which the waste is gathered up and re-dealt on to the stock pile to go through again.
The app contains two versions: '1 redeal' and '2 redeal', where you are allowed to re-deal 1 or 2 times respectively.

Like the game. Works fine. Little too long needed to start a new game but that's a minor inconvenience.
When you take a card from the stockpile and you don't want to use it, it should go into the discard pile. Sometimes this does not happen. If, for example, you have a 3 in the stockpile and you pull a 10 for the next card, if you can't use that 10 on the board and you discard it, the 3 will sail away with the 10. This should not happen because you may want to deliberately discard the 10 to save it for later. In this game that's not possible.
This is nice graphics, responsive although I wish it would show the statistics better. Maybe we can see that in the next model.
This needs some more work to measure up to some of the better versions.
I really like the game but it is difficult to keep crossing the board to turn the cards. They should be on the right hand side not the left.
