- Overview
- --------
- NOTE: In the UNREGISTERED version, the game starts over everytime you play it.
- Statistics are not saved, and there is a shareware notice. Please consider registering.
-
- Initial Deal:
- All of the cards are dealt into 13 piles, each consisting of 4 cards.
- Twelve of the piles are arranged in the pattern of a clock, with the thirteenth pile in the middle.
-
- Basic Play:
- The top card of the middle pile is turned up to start the game. To play this card, it must be placed on the
- pile that represents its value on the clock face. Thus, if it was a 12, it would be placed at the "12" position
- (Kings are played on the middle pile). Once a card is played on its correct pile, the top card of that pile is
- turned over. Play continues by placing this new card on its proper pile.
-
- Winning:
- The game ends when either all 52 cards have been correctly placed, or all four Kings have been played (thus
- bringing the game to a stand still).
-
- Scoring:
- 1 point for a correct placement. -5 points for an incorrect placement.
-
- Variations:
- Levels 2 and 3 make the game more challenging by "rotating" the "12" position on the clock. The "12" position is
- rotated at the beginning of a new game in Level 2, and at random times during play in Level 3. A "12" marker
- indicates where the current "12" position is at.

- Disclaimer
- ----------
- Even though I have tried my best to make a quality program that does no harm, sometimes sneaky little bugs rear
- their ugly heads. Thus, I can not be held accountable for data loss or harm done to you or your PalmOS device.
- I also can not be held accountable if your boss catches you playing this game at work ;-)
