Solitaire

Solitaire card game

Rules

The object
Build four stacks of cards, one for each suit, in ascending order, from ace to king.

The table
Solitaire is played with a single deck of 52 cards. The game begins with 28 cards arranged into seven columns. The first column contains one card, the second has two cards, and so on. The top card in each column is face up, the rest are face down.

Four Home stacks are positioned at the left side. This is where you build the piles needed to win.

How to play
Each Home stack must start with an Ace. If you don't have any, you'll have to move cards between columns until you uncover one.

You can't move cards between columns at random, however. Columns must be built in descending order, from king to ace. So you can place a 10 on a jack, but not on a 3.

As an added twist, cards in columns must also alternate red and black.

You aren't limited to moving single cards. You can also move sequentially organized runs of cards between columns. Just drag the deepest card in the run to another column.

If you run out of moves, you'll have to draw more cards by taping the deck left of the coloms. If the deck runs out, click its outline on the table to reshuffle it.

You can move a card to the Home stack either by dragging it or by double-clicking it.

Hints and tips
Stuck? Press Undo button just below the deck of cards on the left. This will undo your last move.

Keep runs even. Runs are the stacks of visible cards you create in the columns. Don't let any one run get too far ahead of the others if you can help it. Having one particularly long run makes it difficult to make other moves.

Leave no card unturned. The more face-down cards in a column, the better it is to work at revealing those cards first. It will increase your odds of making plays.
