How to Play Solitaire

Mastering Solitaire is an enjoyable journey. Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding the game’s mechanics and controls:

Game Setup:

  1. Foundation Piles: Initially, one card is dealt face up to begin the foundation piles. The goal is to build four separate foundation piles, one for each suit, starting with an Ace and building up in ascending rank (Ace, 2, 3… King).
  2. Stockpile: The remaining cards are dealt face down to form the stockpile. This is where you’ll draw new cards from throughout the game.

Core Gameplay:

  1. Drawing Cards: Carefully go through the stockpile, drawing one card at a time (or three, depending on your chosen mode).
  2. Playing to Foundations: If the top card of the stockpile (or any exposed card in the tableau) can be played onto one of the foundation piles, simply drag and drop it into place.
  3. Waste Pile: If a drawn card cannot be played on a foundation, discard it face up to the waste pile.
  4. Recycling the Waste Pile: Once the stockpile is depleted, you can flip through the waste pile to look for new playable cards. Repeat this process multiple times until no more moves can be made from the waste pile.

Winning & Losing:

  • Victory: You win the game when all four foundation piles have been successfully built up from Ace to King for each respective suit.
  • Defeat: If there are no more possible moves and your foundation piles are incomplete, the round is lost.

Controls & Assistance:

  • Card Movement: Easily move cards by dragging and dropping them onto their desired location.
  • Auto-Dealing: Tap on the deck to automatically deal one or three cards, depending on your game settings.
  • Autocomplete: Use the convenient “Autocomplete” feature to automatically play any cards that can be moved directly to the foundation piles.
  • Unlimited Undo: Made a mistake? No problem! Tap the “Undo” button to revert your last move. You have unlimited undos, allowing you to experiment and learn without fear.
  • Hints: If you find yourself stuck, the “Hint” button will show you the next possible move, helping you keep the game progressing. Feel free to use hints as often as needed, especially when you’re learning.

Enhance Your Challenge:

  • Timed Play: For an extra challenge, time yourself to see how fast you can complete a game or beat your personal best record.
  • Difficulty Settings: Adjust the difficulty by setting a maximum number of passes through the waste pile. For beginners, it’s recommended to start with unlimited re-deals of the waste pile and no timer.
  • Strategic Play: Look for opportunities to set up chains of plays that allow multiple cards to be moved at once, optimizing your strategy.
  • Rewards: Winning games increases your score and earns virtual coins. Use these coins to unlock special bonus cards and backgrounds, further customizing your game experience. Challenge yourself to earn as many coins as possible through skillful, strategic play!
