Tips for Reviewing

Unlocking the Store

To unlock the store and slot machine quickly, right click the game in the Steam menu and select Properties > Beta, then choose "beta - Beta debug branch" from the drop down menu. This version has a cheat enabled in F5 which gives you 300,000 gold. Wait about 30 seconds and the store will unlock.

Accessing the Store

Once unlocked, the store can be accessed through Trophies menu > Treasure Chamber and by clicking the large hole in the back wall of the treasure chamber.

Playing the Game

Goal: move all cards to the four top-right foundation piles.

Klondike rules with a 14-card rank: Pages (P) are valued at 11, so runs go K > Q > J > P > 10 > 9, etc.

Deals are 3 cards from stock to waste. Cards can be moved back from foundations to table piles. Only Kings can occupy empty tables.

More detailed instructions are available in-game through the Help menu if needed. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, I’ll gladly help.

Stuck Game Indicator
