Æther Chronograph

Wind the mechanism. Place your cards. Beat the needle.

Æther Chronograph is a solo steampunk card puzzle. Arrange twelve playing cards around an ornate clockwork dial, then form poker combinations before the glowing needle sweeps past them. Part patience game, part poker, part clockwork puzzle — every dial is a fresh contraption to solve.

⚙ HOW IT PLAYS
• Phase 1 — Composition: place 12 cards onto the twelve hour-positions of the brass dial.
• Phase 2 — Execution: as the needle advances, combine cards from your hand with the card under the needle to score poker combos.
• Form Flushes, Straights, Triplets — and rare Royal Flushes, Straight Flushes and Royal Triplets for big points.
• Defuse jammed gears, chain combos within a single revolution, and clear the dial before you stall.

⚙ THREE DIFFICULTIES
• Easy — 52 cards, next card visible, no jammed gears, a generous timer.
• Normal — 56 cards, four jammed gears to defuse, tighter timing.
• Expert — blind play (no preview), four jammers and a relentless clock, for true Æther engineers.
