Penguin Solitaire

This is a challenging single-deck version of Freecell Solitaire themed after penguins. When the game starts the first card is laid to 3 of the 4 foundations and the other 49 cards are dealt directly to the tableau across 7 stacks. Your goal is to complete all 4 foundations before the timer runs out.

  • The foundations start with a randomly selected card. You then build up in suited ascending order.
  • On the tableau build down by suit in descending order.
  • Open columns on the tableau may only be filled with cards starting with a value 1 lower than the foundations started with.
  • Use free cells to temporarily store cards to enable other plays.
  • Unlike other Freecell games, you do not need to have open free cells to move a long stack of suited descending cards on the tableau.

      • The 4 foundations are on the left side of the screen.

  • Game Play
    • Deal
      • This is a single-deck 52-card version of Freecell Solitaire with 8 free cells.
      • 3 of the 4 foundations (Spades, Hearts & Clubs) have the starting card dealt to their foundations.
      • The remaining 49 cards are dealt to the tableau across 7 stacks with 7 cards in each.
    • Playing
      • Tableau
        • Build down in suited sequence in descending order.
        • Moving card runs
          • You can move sequential runs of cards which are same-suit & in descending order.
          • Unlike other Freecell games you do not need to have open free cells to be able to move a long run of suited descending cards.
          • When the deck wraps it can be a bit trickier to move the cards. This is discussed a bit more in the wrapping section below.
        • Open stacks
          • If you create an open stack on the tableau it will show which card number the stack must start with.
          • The required start card value on open stacks is shown in the background.
        • Wrapping
          • If the deck wraps with a card like 5 as the starting card on the foundations then you would lay 4-3-2-Ace-King-Queen-Jack-10-9-8-7-6 on the tableau.
          • You can only move descending runs of cards, which means that if your tableau columns should start with a 4 you would not want to make a long run of cards like 2-Ace-King-Queen-Jack-10-9-8-7-6 because when the suit wraps from Ace to King you can’t move that chunk, so only cross between Ace and King if one or more of the following is true:
            • you have the sequential cards to be able to move the sequence of cards directly to the associated foundation
            • you have plenty of open free cells & are only moving a few cards past the King
            • your tableau column is starting with the card depicted at the top of an empty column
      • Free cells
        • This game has 7 free cells which can be used just like any other Freecell solitaire game.
      • Foundations
        • Build the foundations up in sequential ascending order.
        • If the foundation started with Ace you would lay 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Jack-Queen-King.
        • If the foundation started with King you would lay Ace-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Jack-Queen.
        • If the deck wraps with the foundations starting at 8 you would lay 9-10-Jack-Queen-King-Ace-2-3-4-5-6-7.
        • You can only build 3 of the 4 foundations & must leave the diamonds suit on the tableau for the computer to play it.
    • Levels
      • This game has 3 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
        • You can’t go back to previously beat levels without starting the game over at the first level.
        • Other than the time limit & the arbitrarily chosen starting foundation card the gameplay is the same across all 3 levels.
      • Level timers
        • The first stage gives you a 10-minute time limit.
        • The second stage gives you an 8-minute time limit.
        • The third and final stage gives you a 6-minute time limit.
    • 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.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like challenging Freecell Solitaire card games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
