Playing the Game

========================

The game starts with a standard deck of 52 cards. Four rows of cards are

dealt face up. The first row is three cards. The second row is six cards

where two cards are dealt under each card in the first row (like a triangle).

The third row has nine, and the forth ten.

Once the table has been dealt, the remaining cards are placed face down in a

draw pile of which the first card has been flipped over for you.

When game play starts, you have 84 seconds to clear the board by selecting

cards that are higher.

When game play starts, you have 84 seconds to clear the board by selecting
