More about this game
The goal is to move all 52 cards into four foundation piles, sorted by suit from Ace to King. You reveal cards by drawing one at a time from the stock and building columns downward in alternating colors. The challenge comes from managing hidden cards and deciding when to move stacks between columns to uncover new options. A run ends when you successfully collect all 52 cards or choose to deal a new deck.
Tips
- You can cycle through the draw pile infinitely. If you get stuck, tap recycle to flip the waste pile back over and revisit earlier cards without any penalty.
- Use the undo button if you make a mistake. The game saves up to 250 previous moves, letting you safely reverse long sequences to try completely different strategies.
- Double-tap a card to automatically place it. The game checks the four foundations first, then the seven columns, saving you time when moving obvious matches across the board.
FAQ
- How do I fill an empty column?
- Only a King can be placed into an empty column slot. Once a King is placed, you can continue building downward by alternating colors, starting with a Queen of the opposite color.
- What happens if I run out of moves?
- If you cannot find a legal move, you can tap the hint button to highlight a valid card, use the undo button to backtrack, or simply start a new deal.
- How many cards do I draw at once?
- This version uses a draw one rule. Tapping the stock pile reveals exactly one card at a time, placing it face-up in the waste pile for immediate use on the board.
