Tips & Warnings
Check cards before making a final play by using the "Control + Z" buttons on your computer to undo your last card move.
Click the box at the bottom of the window containing the score to get a hint for a possible card move.
Remember the Ace of any suit is placed on top of the 2.
Kings only move to open spaces, so move them at the most opportune time.
