Scoring Basics

The game awards points for meaningful progress and subtracts points for actions that reduce progress. This encourages efficient, clean play.

Common Point Changes

  • Moving a card to a foundation usually increases score.
  • Flipping a face-down tableau card adds points.
  • Resetting the waste back to stock decreases score.

Time Penalties

As time passes, the score may drop at intervals. Faster wins generally result in higher scores.

End-of-Game Bonus

When you win, a bonus is calculated based on how quickly you finished. This rewards decisive play.
