Solitaire Rules
Rules
Taking a standard 52-card deck of playing cards (without Jokers) one upturned card is dealt on the left of the playing area, then six downturned cards (from left to right). On top of the downturned cards, an upturned card is dealt on the left-most downturned pile, and downturned cards on the rest until all piles have an upturned card. The pile should look like the figure to the right.
The four foundations (light rectangles in the upper right of the figure) are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down by alternate colours, and partial or complete piles can be moved if they are built down by alternate colours also. Any empty piles can be filled with a King or a pile of cards with a King at the top.
There are different ways of dealing the remainder of the deck:
Turning three cards at once to the waste, either allowing three passes through the deck or placing no limit on passes through the deck.
Turning three cards at once, reversing the order of each group of three as the cards are dealt.
Turning only one card at a time, but only passing through the deck once.
Moves
Cards can be moved to a target pile by dragging them using the left mouse button. If this move is not possible the card automatically moves back to the original pile. To move several cards, simply select the highest one.
Points
You get 5 points for placing a card onto the table, 10 points for placing a card onto a target pile, and 10 points for turning over a card. 15 points are deducted for turning over a pile. 5 points are deducted for putting a card from a target pile back onto the table.
Winner
Both players start out the same and receive the same cards per round.
Solitaire is a card game for two players, played as a duel. At the start of the game, seven piles of cards are already spread out.
The object of the game is to arrange 52 cards on four piles as quickly as possible.
The game is over once all 52 cards have been placed on the target piles or the player sees no other possible move and chooses to end the game.
