Tap Layout on a number card and choose classic, column, scatter, big pip or index only.

Undo and Redo sit at the top of the editor, and the reset button below the card returns it to its starting look. Your draft saves itself as you work, and swiping moves to the next card.

Klondike is built on the 52 French cards, so Spanish, German and Swiss decks are not offered there. They all work in Memory and in Higher or Lower.

If the app goes to the background the round is saved, and Continue last game appears in that game's window. Closing a round yourself asks Leave the game? first, because that progress is lost.

Go to Settings and tap Erase all decks. Deleting the app has the same effect. There is no cloud copy, so this cannot be undone.
