Making selections and moves
Keep the goal in view while choosing a move. Tap an enabled card from your hand. The suit rows show cards already played. Use Pass only when it is enabled. The game area remains available above the explanation.
An example to follow
Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. After 7♥ is opened, 6♥ or 8♥ can be played. 5♥ must wait until 6♥ is on the table. The game area remains available above the explanation.
Keep this in mind
Read the position before choosing your next action. A matching rank in another suit does not extend an existing row. Every suit has its own sequence.
