- Controls & indicators
- The 8 foundations are across the top of the screen.
- The stock is in the lower left of the tableau & has a number in its lower right indicating how many more full shuffles through it you have remaining.
- Game controls are along the bottom of the screen.
- Your game score is shown on the left side of the screen.

- You can undo up to 10 moves per game.
- If the autoplay makes a play you do not like (e.g. plays to the wrong foundation compared to the one which would be optimal) you can turn it off, then undo moves, and then play the cards how you want to play them
- Game Play
- Deal
- This game uses 2 standard 52-card decks.
- Aces are dealt to the 4 left ascending foundations.
- Kings are dealt to the 4 right descending foundations.
- 32 cards are dealt to the tableau across 8 columns with 4 cards each.
- 4 cards are dealt to the play stacks.
- 60 cards are dealt to the stock, which are dealt onto the play stacks across 15 deals.
- You can shuffle through the card stock 3 times.
- Play
- Foundations
- This game has 8 suited foundations.
- The left 4 foundations have the Aces laid to them & ascend up to the Kings.
- The right 4 foundations have the Kings laid to them & descend down to the Aces.
- Tableau
- You can not build on the tableau.
- You can move the bottom card in each tableau stack either to a foundation or into the reserves.
- Reserves
- You can shuffle through the card stock 3 times total.
- The card stock is played across 4 parallel play columns.
- You can move the card stock cards onto the foundations & you can also pull cards from the tableau onto the reserves when the tableau card is same suit and valued one higher or lower than the card atop the reserves.
- Levels
- This is a single level game.
- While the game does not show a timer you score bonus points based on how quickly you finish.
- Strategy
- In this game your goal is to build inward from the edges.
- This means you want to ensure any cards on the tableau that are roadblocks are quickly removed from the tableau to be shuffled back into the reserves.
- If you see a King or an Ace on the tableau in any position other than the highest row try to bring it into the reserves as quickly as possible to free up any cards it was blocking.
- If you have already played cards near the edges (e.g. 2, 3, Jack, Queen) and some of them remain on the tableau you will likely want to move them into the stock so that you unblock any cards they are on top of.
- If you see the same card twice in a column on the tableau it typically makes sense to move at least one of them to the stock if the other is not quickly played to a foundation.
- Autoplay
- It is easy to miss moves if you do not have autoplay turned on.
- When you have autoplay turned on it may not make all moves to the foundations, but it will generally make most of them.
- Sometimes when a card can be moved to either foundation the computer will not move it & you’ll need to manually move it.
- If the autoplay makes a move you do not like you can turn it off, use the move undo feature, make the alternative moves, and then turn it back on.
- Even when autoplay is turned on you still need to move cards from the tableau to the stock.
- Autoplay only moves cards from the tableau or stock to the reserves.
- Scoring
- Each card you lay to a foundation is worth 35 points.
- While the game does not show a timer you score bonus points based on how quickly you finish.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Solitaire card games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
