Free Solitaire

How to play

1. On the four foundations, you build up each suit in ascending order: ace, 2, 3, all the way to king.
2. In the columns, you stack cards in descending order, alternating colors: a red 6 on a black 7.
3. An empty column can only be filled by a king (or a sequence starting with a king).
4. When the top card of a column is face down, it's revealed once you move the cards covering it.
5. You draw new cards from the stockpile. Once it's empty, it's flipped over and starts again.

Tips and tricks

• Reveal face-down cards as early as possible, ideally in the columns holding the most of them.
• Only draw from the stockpile once there's no useful move left on the table.
• Don't move cards up to the foundations too quickly: a low card can still serve as a base to build on.
• Empty columns are valuable. Only empty one when a king is ready to go there.

About Solitaire

Solitaire is the best-known solo card game around. Many people know it from Windows computers, where it came pre-installed for decades. The rules are simple, but not every game can be won, and that's exactly what gives it its charm: good strategy wins far more often than luck alone.

You play with 52 cards. Seven columns are dealt on the table, with only the top card of each column face up. Four foundations wait in the top right, one per suit. New cards are drawn from the stockpile. You win once every card is on a foundation.
