Addicting! The goal of the game is to remove all the cards in the blue, cards in the yellow are just helper cards.  Jokers remove all cards.  How do you remove cards you might ask? Well combine black suit card values (Spade and Club) with red suit values (Heart and Diamond) to add up to Zilch! So as an example, combine a black King (value of 13) with a red 8, 2, and a 3.  Make sense?  The app helps you by showing the current values of the cards you have selected, and even turns green when you can remove the cards! Here's a few other tidbits of info.  The game saves your high score to Game Center so you can compare against your friends, and the rest of the world.  Have multiple devices? The game will pull down and sync your high score across all your devices.  Also, it supports the new split screen multitasking feature for iPads, so while you browse the internet, you can leisurely play Zilch too!
