Klondike Solitaire

In Klondike Solitaire, cards are dealt to the deck 3-at-a-time and the player can pass through the deck indefinitely. Twenty (20) points are deduct- ed for each pass through the deck after the player has gone through the deck three (3) times.

Vegas Solitaire

Vegas Solitaire follows the same rules as Klondike Solitaire, but in this game you will begin with 500 points. Points are accumulated between consecutive games. Each time you start a new game, you will lose 52 points (one point for each card in the deck).

You will win 5 points each time you move a card from a card stack or the deck to a suit stack.

You will lose 5 points each time you move a card from the suit stack back down to a card stack.

You may only pass through the deck once, and deck cards are turned over one (1) at a time.

MOVING THE CARDS

The object of Solitaire is to build four (4) Suit Stacks – from Ace to King – with each stack containing only the cards of a particular suit. The player will accomplish this by drawing a card from the deck and moving it to the card stacks or suit stacks. Build the card stacks in descending order, alternating solid and outlined cards and move them to the suit stacks when possible. Only the King may be moved to an empty card stack.

NOTE: Solid cards are the black suits and out- lined cards are the red suits.

Moving the cards is easy! First, press the button corresponding to the card(s) you want to move (Deck, Card Stack or Suits). The selected card(s) will flash. When selecting a card in the suit stacks, hold down the Suits button until the desired card is flashing. Pressing the button again will release the card. After selecting the card(s) you want to move, press the button cor- responding to the location where you want to move them.

SLEEP MODE

Fliptop Solitaire will go to sleep after two (2) min- utes of non-activity. To wake the game, press the On•Deal•Draw button.
