To begin a game, simply click on the Play Scarab 21 button on the page! This will start a new game for you. Along the left side of the game board, you will see three main sections. The first section along the top is the Game Stats section. This contains all of the information regarding your current and overall game records. The next section is the Scoring Chart section, which contains the payoff information for some of the common combinations you can have (although there are many others that you must find on your own). The third section simply shows the card deck information. The card on the right is the current card that you must play. The object of the game is to play the current face up card into one of the five columns in order to get that column's sum to equal 21. By doing so, the column is cleared and you can continue to make plays in order to get more points. You cannot, however, play a card into a column if it would cause the sum to be more than 21! The game will continue until you have a situation where you cannot play your current face up card into any of the columns. For example: Say your current face up card is a King, and the sum of all five columns is over 11, then you would not have any place to play the King, so the game is over! Once the game is over, click on the "Collect Points" link to get your points. This will update your total scores and game records. There are many special moves that you must find on your own, and they are well worth it. While some only offer points (although quite a few points), other special plays will clear all of your columns, which extends the game and allows you to score even more points!
