KEY FEATURES & GAME MECHANICS

1. TriPeaks Solitaire & Farm Harvest Synergy

Experience a fresh, thematic twist on classic solitaire card mechanics:

Sequential Harvesting: Match cards from the field grid that are one rank higher or one rank lower than the top card on your active draw pile, regardless of suit (e.g., play a 6 or an 8 on a 7).
Crop Growth & Yields: Cards on the board represent crops waiting to be harvested. Clearing specific "Golden Crop Cards" yields bonus coins, star crops, and raw materials needed to construct new farm facilities.
Streak Multiplier Combo Meter: Clearing multiple field cards sequentially without drawing a new card builds your Harvest Combo Meter, filling your baskets with extra bonus coins and wildcard cards.

2. Farm Management & Homestead Renovation

Transform your card-playing victories into tangible farm progress:

Crop Rotation & Field Unlocks: Progress through themed agricultural sectors—including Apple Orchards, Sunflower Fields, Pumpkin Patches, Vineyard Hills, and Dairy Meadows.
Building & Upgrading: Use coins and stars earned from solitaire matches to build silos, repair windmills, construct chicken coops, paint rustic barns, and decorate garden pathways.
Animal Companions: Rescue and adopt helpful farm animals—such as Buster the Golden Retriever, Barnaby the Rooster, and Bella the Milking Cow—who drop free daily bonus coins, extra card draws, and power-up treats.

3. Farm Hazards & Dynamic Card Blockades

Navigate tricky agricultural obstacles as you venture deeper into the countryside:

Overgrown Weed Cards: Tangled vines that lock cards in place; match adjacent cards to trim the weeds and free the target card beneath.
Crate & Box Cards: Wooden crates covering cards that require 1 to 3 adjacent card matches to break open and reveal hidden ranks.
Rock & Boulder Blockades: Heavy obstacles that cannot be matched directly; clear surrounding crop cards to dynamite boulders out of the way.
Weather Hazards (Rain & Frost): Ice cards that freeze adjacent ranks until struck by a warm Solar Wildcard or matched directly.

4. Farmer's Toolset & Farm Boosters

Harness special agricultural tools to clear challenging card formations:

Golden Pitchfork (Undo): Reverses your last card play, returning drawn or cleared cards back to their previous positions without penalty.
Scarecrow Wildcard: Acts as a universal match, allowing any card rank on the field to be played on top of it.
Tractor Sweep: A heavy farm machine that drives across the board, clearing an entire horizontal row of cards instantly.
Extra Draw Seeds: Adds 5 additional cards to your draw deck when you are running low on active moves.

GAME MODES

Harvest Season (Story Campaign): Journey through 250+ farm-themed levels across 8 distinct agricultural regions. Complete stage objectives, harvest rare prize crops, repair local town landmarks, and win county fair trophies.

HOW TO PLAY: OPERATOR'S MANUAL

1. Core Objective & Winning Conditions

The primary objective in Solitaire Harvest is to clear all cards from the Field Grid by matching them to your Active Draw Pile before running out of cards in your Stock Deck.

The Sequential Match Rule

A card on the field is eligible to be cleared if its rank is exactly one value higher or one value lower than the current top card on the active discard pile:

$$\text{Valid Match Rank} = \text{Active Card Rank} \pm 1$$

$$\text{Example: If Active Card is } 8 \rightarrow \text{Field Cards } 7 \text{ or } 9 \text{ are Valid Matches}$$

$$\text{Aces are Bidirectional: } K \leftrightarrow A \leftrightarrow 2$$

If all field cards are removed before your stock deck is exhausted, you achieve a Harvest Victory and collect all harvested crops on the board!

2. Controls & User Interface

Touch Screen / Mobile Controls

Tap Field Card: If the card is a valid rank ($\pm 1$), tapping it automatically moves it to the active pile and clears it from the board.
Tap Stock Deck: Draws the next face-down card to start a new active matching rank.
Tap Booster HUD Icons: Select equipped farm tools at the bottom of the screen (Pitchfork Undo, Scarecrow Wildcard, Tractor Sweep).

PC Keyboard & Mouse Controls

Left-Click Field Card: Select and clear eligible cards from the field grid.
Left-Click Stock Deck: Draw a new card from the face-down pile.
Spacebar: Pause game / Open options and harvest objective overview.
Keys 'Z', 'W', 'T': Quick-activate farm boosters (Z: Undo Pitchfork, W: Scarecrow Wildcard, T: Tractor Sweep).

3. Step-by-Step Tactical Guide for Beginners

Step 1: Scan for Long Sequential Chains First

Before tapping cards blindly, examine the field to spot potential continuous sequences (e.g., $3 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 5 \rightarrow 6 \rightarrow 5 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 3$). Playing long runs keeps your stock deck full and builds your Harvest Combo Multiplier!

Step 2: Target Uncovering Face-Down Stacked Cards

Focus your efforts on clearing cards that sit directly on top of large face-down stacks. Uncovering face-down cards expands your visible choices and unlocks hidden paths.

Step 3: Manage Your Kings and Aces

Aces can link high cards and low cards ($K \leftrightarrow A \leftrightarrow 2$). Save Aces on the board for moments when you need to bridge a sequence transition between high and low card runs.

Step 4: Clear Obstacle Cards Early

Prioritize clearing cards touching Overgrown Weeds or Crates early in the hand. Leaving hazards untouched limits your maneuverability on the board during late-game plays.

Step 5: Save Wildcards for the Final Cards

Resist using your Scarecrow Wildcards early in a level. Save them for the very end of a stage when you have 1 or 2 isolated field cards remaining and no matching cards left in your draw deck.

PRO-TIPS FOR EXPERT FARMERS

Tip 1: The Peak-Branch Balance. When faced with two equal choices (e.g., two different $5\text{s}$ to play on a $6$), choose the $5$ that sits on top of the taller card stack. Keeping stack heights balanced across the board prevents getting stuck with one isolated tall tower late in the game!
Tip 2: Maximizing Bonus Crops. If you hold a long sequence in hand and a Golden Crop Card is currently accessible, route your chain through the Golden Crop Card early in the streak to apply your active combo multiplier to the crop’s bonus yield!
Tip 3: Check Animal Perks Before Heavy Levels. Visit your farmyard before attempting challenging boss levels! Feeding your adopted farm animals grants temporary perks, such as starting a level with +3 extra draw cards or a pre-charged Tractor Sweep.
