301=# **SolitaireOK Overview**
302=
303=The goal of SolitaireOK is to build four foundation piles (one for each suit: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs) from all cards of the stock pile. These must be arranged in ascending order from **Ace (Start)** to **King (End)**.
304=
305=The latest version of the game and further information can always be found on the homepage: **%HOMEPAGE%**. For questions, it's worth taking a look at the FAQ: **%FAQ%**.

309=# **SolitaireOK Game Instructions**
310=
311=1. **Start Game:** Click on **`Game`** in the menu and then on **`New Game`** to start a new game.
312=2. **Place Aces:** If Aces are face-up on the seven tableau piles after dealing the cards, double-click on them to automatically move them to the designated **foundation piles** at the top right.
313=3. **Perform Moves:** Carry out all other possible moves with the face-up cards.
314=4. **Reveal New Cards:** If no more moves are possible, click on the **stock pile** (top left) to turn over new cards.
315=
316=# **Important Game Mechanics**
317=
318=* **Playable Cards:** Generally, only the **top, face-up card** of a pile is playable.
319=* **Build Tableau Piles:** During the game, you build tableau piles in descending order with alternating colors (e.g., a black Jack can be placed on a red Queen). This serves to uncover lower cards that you need for the foundation piles.
320=* **Move Cards:**
321= - * **Via Drag & Drop:** Click on a card and drag it (or the entire ordered stack beneath it) to another tableau pile.
322= - * **Via Double-Click:** Double-click on a card to move it directly from a tableau pile or from the stock pile to the appropriate foundation pile (if this is a valid move).
323= - * **Automatic Moving:** A right-click or the keyboard shortcut **CTRL+A** moves all immediately playable cards to their foundation piles.
324=* **Flip Cards:** After you move a card away from a tableau pile, click on the now top, face-down card to flip it over.
325=* **Use Free Piles:** If a tableau pile is completely empty, you can only place a **King** (potentially with its entire ordered stack) on this free space.
326=
327=# **Tip for Better Winning Chances**
328=If you have the `Draw Three` option enabled, it is often advantageous to first click on the stock pile and reveal new cards **before** moving cards between the tableau piles. This way you keep an overview of all possible game options and increase your chance of winning.
329=
330=---
331=
332=# **Adjust Game Options**
333=
334=To change the settings, click on `Options` in the `Game` menu.
335=
336=* **Show Time & Time Limit:** Activate this option to make the game more exciting. You can set a time limit to challenge yourself.
337=* **Status Bar:** Permanently shows your current score and the elapsed game time.
338=* **Outline when Moving:** When activated, only the outline of a card is shown when dragging it, not the full image. This can improve performance on older systems.
339=* **Card Back:** To change the design of the card back, click on `Back Design` in the `Game` menu and select a new design.
340=
341=---
342=
343=# **Scoring (Scoring Systems)**
344=
345=Select your preferred scoring system under `Options` in the `Game` menu.
346=
347=# **1. Standard**
348=This is the classic scoring system.
349=* **+10 Points** for each card placed on a foundation pile.
350=* **+5 Points** for moving a card from the stock to a tableau pile.
351=* **+5 Points** for flipping over a card in a tableau pile.
352=* **-15 Points** for moving a card back from a foundation pile to a tableau pile.
353=* **Penalty Points for Passes:**
354= - * `Draw Three`: Starting from the **fourth** pass through the stock pile, **-20 points** are deducted per pass.
355= - * `Draw One`: Starting from the **second** pass, **-100 points** are deducted per pass.
356=* **Time Bonus:** With an active time limit, 2 points are deducted every 10 seconds. At the end, you receive a time bonus – the faster you play, the higher it is.
357=
358=# **2. Vegas**
359=Play for virtual money with a casino feeling.
360=* You start with a **stake of -$52** (debt).
361=* You win **+$5** for each card you place on a foundation pile.
362=* **Goal:** To have a positive amount of money at the end (to win back more than your stake).
363=* **Passes are limited:**
364= - * `Draw Three`: You only have **three** passes through the stock pile.
365= - * `Draw One`: You only have **one** pass.
366=
367=# **3. None**
368=Focus entirely on solving the puzzle, without points or pressure.
369=* No score is kept.
370=* The goal is simply to discard all cards.
371=* You have **unlimited passes** through the stock pile, regardless of whether `Draw One` or `Draw Three` is selected.
372=
373=# **Note**
374=
375=The choice between `Draw One` and `Draw Three` in the `Options` menu has a significant influence on the game's difficulty level and, in the `Standard` and `Vegas` systems, also on the scoring or the number of allowed passes.
