Procedures

Fifteen cards are dealt face up in three rows of five cards each.  Discard Kings, Queens, Jacks, and Tens in quartets of the same rank.  Discard the lower rank cards in batches that total fifteen (ace = 1).  There is no limitation on the number of cards per batch.

Cards are selected by being clicked upon.  Highlighting will appear.  Cards will be automatically removed when they total fifteen or a quartet has been selected.  A card may be de-selected by reclicking, the highlighting will disappear.  Spaces are filled from the deck of cards.  The game is won when you discard all of the cards.

Options of a card count, elapsed time, and a top 25 time list are displayed by default.  You may select to toggle them off/on from the Options Menu.

Note: clicking the right mouse button can be used to clear all highlighted cards.
