Unlike most versions of Klondike, Solitaire City features a timed scoring system. The faster you complete the game, the higher your score. Here's how the scoring works:
Good Points | |||
| Turning over a face down tableau card | +25 Points (max = 525) | ||
| Playing a card from stock to tableau | +45 Points (max = 1080) | ||
| Transferring a card to the foundations | +60 Points (max = 3120) | ||
Bad Points | |||
| Every second of elapsed time | |||
| Every time Undo is used | |||
| Exposed card of a packed column to another packed column | |||
| Moving a foundation card back to the tableau | |||
| Each re-deal after the third pass through the stock (Deal 3) | |||
| Each re-deal after the first pass through the stock (Deal 1) | |||
| Each re-deal after the first pass through the stock (Unlimited Passes) | |||
When the game is completed, you will receive a bonus calculated in the following way:
Bonus = (2 x End of Game Score) - (10 x Time Taken)
If we ignore the fact that your score is being eaten away each second, if each card in the stock is transferred to the tableau before being transferred to the foundations, the maximum end of game score possible would be 4,725. Therefore the largest possible bonus would be 9,450, making a theoretical highest possible score of 14,175. Obviously this score isn't possible as you would have to complete the game in less than 1 second.
Scores over 10,000 are creditable.
