The premise, in the publisher's words

Similar to poker, your deck consists of the four different suits with values from 2 to ace, plus one joker card, so 53 cards in total. You don't hold them in your hand, though, but they fall down from the top of the screen into a play field 5 places wide and 5 places high, filling the bottom first. And your job is to arrange them into combinations such that they disappear and do not fill up the screen.
