Walkthrough

Getting Started with Solitaire and Racing

Begin by selecting a horse and entering a race. The game alternates between solitaire rounds and racing phases. In solitaire, clear cards by selecting ones that are one number higher or lower than your current card. Clear all cards for a perfect score, which boosts your horse’s energy. During races, use the Unity Power earned from solitaire to control your horse’s position. Stay on the inside track to conserve stamina, but run over special cards to gain bonuses like extra experience or skills.

Mastering the Perfect Challenge

The 'Perfect Challenge' mode lets you practice solitaire without racing. Focus on clearing cards quickly to achieve a perfect score. This mode helps you hone your skills, as the faster you clear, the better your horse performs in actual races.

Gameplays

Solitaire Gameplay

The solitaire mechanic is simple yet addictive. Start with a card, then clear cards that are one number higher or lower. The more cards you clear in succession, the better your horse’s mood, which increases its energy for the race. Watch out for tough card layouts in later stages!

Racing and Strategy

During races, your position on the track matters. Inside positions make solitaire rounds easier but may limit special card pickups. Outside positions increase difficulty but offer more rewards. Balance stamina and card collection to optimize your horse’s performance.
