How To Play
Initial:
Game Play: Once that is done, you can play any possible sets of 3 or 4 cards, runs of 3 or more, or single cards that will fit on an already played (by either player) set or run on the board. To play, select what cards you wish to play and tap in the play area (the area with the suits down the side). For example, select three Kings, then you would tap anywhere in the play area. Or select the 2,3,4 of clubs, then you would tap anywhere in the play area. Single cards are played the same way. If a single card can be played in either a Set or a Run, a popup dialog will ask you which (Runs or Sets) you would like to play the card in. Sets are displayed with boxes around them. Runs are displayed normally. To view what cards the opponent has played, tap on the "Opponent" box at the top. The opponents cards will be temporarily highlighted. To end your turn, you must discard. To do this, select the card and press the Discard button in the lower left of the screen or tap on the discrad pile.
Winning: Your Round score (displayed at the top of the screen after the S:) is the total of your played cards on the board (see below for point values). If there are cards left in your hand at the end of a round, then the points for those are subtracted from your Round score. This new score is then added to your overall game score. Multiple rounds are played till a player's game score goes over the set ending score (set in the Settings menu). The player with the highest score that exceeds the set ending score wins the game.
