The playing area is divided into three regions: four suit stacks located at the top of the playing area, twelve stacks of cards below, and the Deal button located in the upper-right corner of the playing area. The object of Cruel is to move all the cards from the lower stacks up to the suit stacks.\par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 \par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 At the beginning of each game, there are four Aces in the suit stacks, and the remaining 48 cards are randomly distributed in the twelve stacks below, with each stack containing exactly four cards.\par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 \par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 You can move the top card in a stack up to the corresponding suit stack, provided it is one higher in {\ul rank.}{\v Rank} For example, you can move the 5 of Spades from one of the twelve lower stacks onto the 4 of Spades in a suit stack.\par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 \par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 You can move the top card in a stack to another stack provided it follows the same suit, and is one lower in rank. For example, you can move the Jack of Hearts from one stack onto the Queen of Hearts in another.\par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 \par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 When you are unable figure out any more moves, you can click the Deal button and re-deal. Re-dealing simply rearranges the cards in the twelve lower stacks, keeping four cards in each stack without changing the consecutive order of any cards. For example, if you moved cards from one stack to another so that the 3, 4, and 5 of Diamonds were together, a re-deal would keep this order intact. If you have not moved any cards since the last deal, clicking the Deal button does nothing.\par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 \par \pard \s6\li360\sa31 The game is over when all the cards have been moved up to the suit stacks or when no cards can be moved from the stacks after a re-deal.\par \pard\plain \s14\fi-360\li720\sa43\tx720 \f2\fs16 \par \pard\plain \s20\sb60 \b\f2\fs16\cf1 Related Topics\par \pard\plain \s2\sa43\keep \f2\fs20\cf6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\par \pard\plain \s6\li360\sa31 \f2\fs16 \{bmc blkdiam.bmp\}\tab {\uldb Playing the Game}{\v PlayingTheGame}\par \{bmc blkdiam.bmp\}\tab {\uldb Rules of the Game}{\v RulesOfTheGame}\par \{bmc blkdiam.bmp\}\tab {\uldb Scoring}{\v Scoring}\par \pard\plain \s9\pagebb \b\f2\fs20 \page \par \pard \s9\pagebb {\up6 #{\footnote \pard\plain \s245 \fs20 {\fs16\up6 #} PlayingTheGame}${\footnote \pard\plain \s245 \fs20 {\fs16\up6 $} Playing the Game}+{\footnote \pard\plain \s245 \fs20 {\fs16\up6 +} Cruel:110}K{\footnote \pard\plain \s245 \fs20 {\fs16\up6 K} Playing the Game}}Playing the Game\par \pard\plain \s2\sa43\keep \f2\fs20\cf6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\par \pard\plain \s6\li360\sa31 \f2\fs16 The object of Cruel is to move all the cards in order, from Ace to King, to the corresponding four suit stacks.
