Manual:
Universe Solitaire consists of 5 rounds. In each round, 18 cards are laid out in three pyramid-shaped piles. The back cards are hidden in every second round and shown openly in every other round. There is also a game deck, which starts with 23 cards. Likewise, a base card is displayed face up next to the game deck at the beginning of the game.
The card that is not covered by the pyramid-like arrangement may always be played. In the face-down rounds, a card is always revealed when the front card has been played.
A card can only be played correctly if it is the next higher or next lower card to the base card. If no card can be played, a new basic card can be opened by clicking on the playing card deck.
When a card is played correctly, it then moves to the base card, becoming the new base card for other cards to play on.
With a series of clicks of three cards, a second base card opens from the game deck, which can also be played with. With a series of clicks of six cards, a third base card opens, which can also be used here. The series of clicks is ended by clicking on the game deck and thus the second and third base cards earned are also removed.
The score increases for each correctly played card. The score is reduced for each wrong card played. The exact award of points can be found in the „Points“ section.
The first round must be played within 75 seconds. The time decreases by five seconds in each lap. The number of playing cards is also reduced by two cards per round.
The game ends when all cards have been played, when there are no more playing cards left and no card can be played correctly, or time has run out.
By clearing a pyramid, a bonus star is displayed, which gives extra points at the end of the round.
When no more cards are shown, bonus points are also awarded for the remaining time and for the remaining cards and the round ends.
If there are no more cards left in the deck or the time has expired, the remaining cards are blocked and the round ends. The bonus is still given for the released pyramids.
