• Game Play
  • Deal
    • This game uses 2 decks of 52 cards.
    • Off the start the 4 Kings are laid to the right foundations, the 8 tableau columns are dealt one card each, and the 6 play stacks at the bottom have 4 cards each (for a total of 24 cards).
    • The remaining 68 cards are in the reserves.
  • Playing
    • Foundations
      • Build the left 4 suited foundations in ascending order from Ace to King.
      • Build the right 4 suited foundations in descending order from King to Ace.
      • By default the game has an autoplay to foundations feature turned on.
      • If the game plays cards to the wrong foundations (e.g. it counts up while you want to move down) or if you want to reorganize the foundations to enable additional plays manually you can move cards from the left foundations over to the right, or move from the right foundations over to the left.
    • Reserves
      • Initially the reserves start off with 68 cards in them.
      • On your first 5 deals from the reserves you are dealt 2 cards to each of the 6 playing stacks, for a total of 12 cards per deal.
      • The sixth and final deal from the reserves places 1 card on the bottom of each of the 8 tableau columns.
    • Play stack
      • At the bottom of the game there are 6 play stacks.
      • When you grab a card off the play stack you can play it to any of the tableau colums or a foundation.
    • Tableau
      • The tableau gives you 8 columns to work with.
      • Each column can have only 1 suit on it (until the final deal from the reserves which deals directly to the tableau).
      • On the tableau you can build by suit up or down in sequential order.
      • A stack can build in both directions. For example you could have a run that goes like 4-5-6-7-8-7-6.
      • You can only move 1 card at a time on the tableau. You can use empty columns on the tableau to resort the order of cards in other stacks on the tableau.
  • Levels
    • This game has 3 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over.
    • Level timers
      • The first level gives you 20 minutes to complete it.
      • The second level gives you 18 minutes to complete it.
      • The third level gives you 16 minutes to complete it.
  • Strategy
    • To maximize your score in this game it is best to leave the autoplay feature turned on.
      • If the autoplay plays cards to the wrong foundation, or you want to move cards from one foundation to another you can manually, sometimes directly & sometimes by moving cards back to the tableau as an intermediate step.
    • While the Kings are already on the 4 foundations to the right, you should try to get the Aces to the foundations on the left as quickly as possible.
    • On the tableau you can use an empty stack to reorganize the order of cards in other stacks.
      • As you build out your foundations you may need to reorganize cards on the tableau from low to high instead high to low, or vice versa.
      • If you do not have an empty column on the tableau but have an empty playing stack at the bottom you can move a card from the tableau to the empty playing stack.
    • Try to work down your playing stacks as best you can before dealing any more cards from the reserves.
      • If you have an open playing stack you can move cards to it from another playing stack or from the tableau onto it.
      • When you select a card from the playing stack you can pull it aside before playing it to see which card is underneath it and what move you’ll enable by playing it.
  • Scoring
    • Your game score is cumulative across levels.
    • Each card you lay to a foundation is worth 10 points.
    • Each second you have remaining when you beat a level is worth 10 points.
      • If you play quickly most of your points will come from your remaining time, as finishing a level with a couple minutes remaining means you will have more time points than card points.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like Solitaire card games.
    • We also publish another version of Algerian Patience Solitaire.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
