The object of the game is to get a score of 61 or more.
You place 16 cards onto a 4 x 4 grid. This is done by
clicking on the deck to get a card, then dragging the
card to your chosen position. When all sixteen cards
are placed, the next card on the deck is turned over
and the score is calculated.
Each row and column is calculated for its own score,
and the total of these eight scores (four rows scores
and four column scores) makes up the final score.
Each row (and column) is scored based on the four cards
in the row (or column) and the extra card dealt from
the deck.
Points for each row and column are awarded as
follows:
- Two points for each pair, six points for three
of a kind and twelve points for four of a kind.
- Each run of three or more cards (not necessarily
of the same suit) will score the same as the number
of cards in the run (so a run of three will score
three).
- Four cards of the same suit in a row or column
(excluding the extra card) will score four points,
but if the extra card also matches then it will
score five points
- Each possible combination of cards (in the row or
column) that add up to fifteen will also add two
points to the row or column score. When adding
cards up to get fifteen, picture cards have a value
of 10, and Aces have a value of 1.
- An additional point is awarded to a row or column
that contains the Jack of the same suit as the
extra card dealt from the deck.
The game is successfully completed if the score
of 61 or more is achieved.
