Scoring

Points are scored on each move based on how quickly each move is made and the number of cards played in a row. The "run" ends when you draw a card from the draw pile or the timer runs out and one is drawn automatically. Using the wildcard does not interrupt your run. A longer run greatly improves your score for each play. Here's the formula for the scoring:

TIMER VALUE + ( ( 100 + (20 x RUN LENGTH) ) x RUN LENGTH ) For the those of us who don't speak algebra, this formula basically makes a run of 10 worth much more than two runs of 5, even if they are played at about the same speed: Here's a chart that shows the scoring for plays at different run lengths (we used 180 as the timer value on each line for clarity).

Wild Thing - The wild card shows in the bottom left hand corner of the game screen. It cycles through the entire deck of 52 cards repetitively. To stop the Wild Card simply click on it when it is on the card that you would like to use, and the card that it ends on will be moved to your open Super Stax pile. If you do not use the Wild Card, 500 points are added to your score at the end of the game.

Game Play Overview

The goal of Mega Stars is to clear each level and advance to the next round until all the rounds in a tournament are completed. Cards are removed from the playing field to the discard pile or piles called Super Stax. A card can be discarded if it is one less, or one greater than the current face-up card on the pile. The suit is irrelevant, and an ace can be played on a king or a two to "wrap around" the deck.
