Solitaire

How to play

The goal is to move all 52 cards onto the four foundations at the top right, one pile per suit, in order from ace up to king.

• Columns: stack cards in the seven columns in descending order, alternating red and black (a black 6 on a red 7). You can move a whole run of face-up cards at once. Only a king can go in an empty column.
• Stock: click the deck at the top left to turn over one card (or three, in draw-3). When it runs out, click the empty space to turn the pile back over and go through it again, as many times as you like.
• Moving cards: tap or click a card to send it to the best place, a foundation if it fits, otherwise a column. Tap again to try the next column. To choose exactly where it goes, drag it there. On a keyboard, Tab to a card and press Enter.
• Finishing: once every card is face up and the stock is empty, pressFinish to send the rest home automatically.

Draw 1 or draw 3? Draw 1 is more relaxed, and far more games can be won. Draw 3 is the classic challenge: you can only play every third card from the stock on each pass, so you have to plan ahead.
