To choose a scoring system

1.

On the Game menu, click Options.

2.

Under Scoring, click one of the following options:

Standard

The Standard option works as follows:

If you move a card to a suit stack, you get 10 points.

If you move a card from the deck to a row stack, you get 5 points.

If you turn over a card in a row stack, you get 5 points.

If you move a card from a suit stack back to a row stack, you lose 15 points.

If you are playing with the Draw Three option, you lose 20 points every time you go through the deck after the third time.

If you are playing with the Draw One option, you lose 100 points every time you go through the deck after the first time.

For timed games only, you lose 2 points every 10 seconds of play, and you receive bonus points at the end of the game. The shorter the game, the larger the bonus.

Vegas

The Vegas option works as follows:

You start the game with a debt of 52 dollars, which represents your wager.

You win 5 dollars for every card you play on a suit stack.

The object of the game is to earn more money than you wagered.

If you are playing with the Draw Three option, you can only go through the deck three times.

If you are playing with the Draw One option, you can only go through the deck once.

None

The None option works as follows:

You start the game with no debt (wager) and no money.

You can play the game with the timer turned on or off.

The object of the game is to play all the cards. You don't win or lose any money.

You can go through the deck as many times as you like whether you are playing with the Draw Three option or the Draw One option.

Note

On the Game menu, click Options to specify whether to draw one or three cards at a time. These options are scored slightly differently.
