It supports network and offline game play and has a rich user interface and many customizable graphic, sound (including MIDI music and speech output), rule and scoring options.

The first player to 500 points wins the game.

Features include: realistic animated card movement; right-click pop-up menus; a hint facility; a tutorial; automatic play; automatic save and restore of partly finished games; multiple-user scoreboards; a clean and uncluttered main window; status-bar shortcut buttons; and fully customizable main display font and wallpaper effects for the table and playing mat, and the card backs.
