SPEEDcluster: Time Waster of the Day

Time Waster SPEEDcluster
Our friends at Joystiq turned us on to today's Time-Waster, SPEEDcluster. The object of the game is to click and drag the cards from the bottom row onto one of the cards falling from the top. So, for example, you could click and drag the 7 onto the 8. You gain more points for creating longer chains of cards that can go in ascending or descending order. Your next move would be to place the 8 onto the just placed 7 to create the chain 8, 7 then 8.

The longer the chain is, the more points you receive. Bonuses in time and score are given for crazy long chains of cards, making for a very playable time-bandit game. Hint: you can place an ace onto a 2 to achieve even longer chains of cards.
