*2021-09-28, version 1.25*

Do you ever wake up in the morning and wish you could get started but your brain seems to be still asleep? My brain needs to be ON all the time with my job responsibilities. I play this game for 15-30 minutes upon waking everyday while drinking a cup of coffee. It is a strategic puzzle to get a royal flush each hand. After that my brain is engaged and ready for the day.
