Master Li's Peh Pai Challenge requires the skill, strategy, and sophistication of popular
card games like Speed, Spit, and Tri-Peaks.
How to Play:
When you start a new game, an assortment of cards will appear. Use your mouse to
place the cards, in ascending or descending order, on the playing pile that is located on the
bottom of the screen. To illustrate, let’s say that the card on the playing pile is a 4: if
one of the cards on the screen is a 3 or a 5, you can place it on top of the 4. If none of
the cards is a 3 or 5, you must draw a card from the drawing pile. If you are lucky, you
will be able to remove your cards with the new card you just placed on the playing pile.
If not, you must draw again, and again, and again - until you can remove your cards and
advance to the next screen.
Sounds simple, right? Many have thought so before, and all have been amazed at the
challenge placed before them. Remember what Master Li once told one of his disciples:
"Patience, young one. Restrain your greed. The game of life is not so much in holding
a good hand as in playing a poor hand well."
