Query Selection : Your Cards

Your first 3 cards have been selected - A♠, 2♥, 3♦, but your fourth has not.  The selection mouse-pointer has already been moved to point at 4♣.  The current fourth card candidate is 3♣.

Selection is a 2-step process.

To select the 4♣, click on the 4♣ location in the 13 x 4 grid of available cards.  This will display the 4♣ in your hand.

To confirm it as a selection, click on the 4♣ card in your hand.  This will then show the next available card in the grid, 5♠, as a candidate for your next card.  Repeat this process until all six cards have been selected.

If you make a mistake, click Action - Reset to start over.  The hand will be cleared and scores reset.

Query Selection : Starter

You have made your discards and clicked the 8♥ (on 4 x 13 grid of available cards) as a candidate for the starter.
To confirm it as the starter, click the 8♥ on the dealer's deck.  This will begin pegging.

If you make a selection mistake, click Action - Reset to start over.  The hand will be cleared and scores reset.

Query Selection : HAL's Cards

Available SUNDAYs in the LITE edition.

The 3♠ is the candidate for HAL's first pegging play.

To confirm it, click the 3♠ card in HAL's hand.  The 3♠ will then slide from HAL's hand to the play area on his side of the board.

If you want to put HAL into a Go state and HAL's Go box is NOT visible, select ANY NON-legal card.  This will cause HAL's Go box to appear so that you can click it to cause a Go state.

If you make a selection mistake, click Action - Reset to start over.  The hand will be cleared and scores reset.
