Clear three peaks of cards by tapping cards one rank higher or lower than the open card. Long streaks score huge.
Twenty-eight cards are dealt in three overlapping peaks. One card from the deck is turned face-up as the open card. The remaining deck is the stock.
A card on the peaks is playable when no card overlaps it. Tap any playable card whose rank is exactly one higher or lower than the open card (Ace wraps to both King and 2). That card becomes the new open card.
If you can't play, tap the stock to flip the next card. Drawing breaks your streak.
Scoring: each card cleared scores 10 × your current streak length. Clearing a peak (the top card) gives +50. Clearing all three peaks gives +500. The streak grows by one with each playable card; it resets to 1 every time you draw from the stock.
Streak is everything. Ten cards at a streak of 1 each gives you 100 points; ten cards in a single uninterrupted streak gives you 10+20+30+...+100 = 550 points. The job isn't to clear the table — the job is to plan the longest possible streak before you have to draw, and then execute it. Before tapping the first card, eye the whole board and trace a route that connects as many cards as possible by ±1 rank, weaving across all three peaks if you can.
The cards you should clear are the ones that unlock more cards underneath. A card with two open cards already below it does nothing for your future — clearing it just thins the table. But a card whose removal exposes a card whose removal exposes another card is a chain of openings, and clearing those in sequence is exactly what runs up your streak. Always prefer the card that creates the most new playable cards.
When multiple cards match the current open card, the right choice is rarely the closest one. Take the card that brings you to the rank with the most options on the table — for example, if there are three 7s and one Jack still uncleared, playing toward 7 keeps your options wider than playing toward Jack. The longer you can stay in a 'rich' rank zone, the longer your streak holds before you have to draw.
