        Basics
        You are dealt 5 cards at a time & can only play from the 5 cards shown at the bottom center of the screen.
        Building walls
        Select two cards to pair them off.
        You can match cards with the same numerical value or the same suit to create a triangle as part of the wall.
        If you pair the wrong cards you can click on them to deselect them.
        Once you are happy with a pair you can drag it to one of the lines above to have it become part of the pyramid.
        Wall values must be equal to or lower than the values of the walls underneath it, or else the wall will collapse.
        If the cards above a set are valued more highly than a set then that segment of the card house will come crashing down.
        The only exceptions to this rule are if the other set of cards is valued at 20 or 21.
        There are 2 special card values
        20: cards turn green and can be placed atop any other wall piece even the pieces it is on have a lower value
        21: cards turn green and can be placed atop any other wall pieces even the pieces it is on have a lower value. In addition, a 21 reinforces the wall pieces directly underneath it, effectively making those act as though they are valued at 21.
        Building floors
        Any card can be played as part of the floor.
        Floor pieces are laid one at a time.
        Levels
        This game has 3 levels with a 5 minute timer on each.
        On each level you must build the pyramid one level taller. The first level is 4 tiers high, the second is 5 tiers high and the final level is 6 tiers high.
        Strategy
        Try to avoid putting low value walls in the bottom center.
        If you must have a low value pair low on the wall try to place it on either edge and reinforce it with a 20 or a 21 above it.
        Use your floor laying part of the game to get rid of cards which do not easily match with the others in your hand.
        Scoring
        Your game score is cumulative across levels.
        You score 1 point for each second you have remaining on the level timer at the end of each level.
        Target Audience
        The game is suited for people of all ages who like playing card house building games.
        The game has no adult themed content.
