Game Play
----------------------
It is suggested that you read the help screen for more information before playing.

The idea is to select poker hands to clear the board so that all of the remaining card tiles fall into the given bottom rows(arrows on the side) before the time runs out. Advancing levels bring new challenges.

Slide your finger over up to 5 cards to select the poker hands. Order isn't important so straights dont have to be in order and pairs dont have to be right next to each other. Tiles not directly involved in the hand's scoring, 'kicker cards', will remain on the board. Bigger hands mean bigger points.

You can also swap a piece exactly once with an adjacent piece between each hand played. The back will then turn blue showing the swapped pieces are frozen in place.

Finally, you can slide pieces vertically into open spaces. Gravity will pull them down if it can.

Those are the rules, its up to you to figure out the best strategies.

Who has the high score on your device?
