How to play Solitaire

The goal

Move all 52 cards to the four foundations at the top, one per suit, from ace up to king.

The columns

Build the seven columns down in alternating colors: a red 9 on a black 10, and so on. Move a face-up card with everything on top of it as one. An empty column takes only a king.

When a face-down card is uncovered, it turns over by itself.

The stock

Tap the stock to turn one card over onto the waste pile, or three if Draw is set to three. Only the top card of the waste can be played. When the stock runs out, tap it again to turn the waste back over. There's no limit on passes.

Moving cards

Tap a card to send it to its best place, or drag it where you want. Undo takes back any number of moves.

Score

In standard scoring, moves to the foundations score 10. Moving a card from the waste to a column scores 5, and so does turning over a column's card. Taking a card back from a foundation costs 15, and turning the stock over in draw one costs 100. The score never goes below 0.

Choose Vegas under Scoring in Settings and each deal starts at −52 instead. Every card that reaches a foundation adds 5, and taking one back costs 5. Nothing else scores, so the score can go below 0.
