Taj Mahal Solitaire

This is a single deck game of Solitaire which is similar to Klondike Solitaire. You have 20 minutes to move all cards onto the 4 foundations to beat the game.

  • Build down on the tableau while ensuring each subsequent card laid to a stack is of a different suit than the card above it.
  • When you get to the final card in any column on the tableau it remains protected until you have shuffled through the reserves.
  • You can only shuffle through the reserves once. Protected cards lose protected status after all reserves have been seen.

How to Play

Build down on the tableau while alternating suits for each card laid. Build the 4 suited foundations in ascending order starting with the Aces.

  • Starting the Game
    • Select the Play button in the lower left of the welcome screen to start the game.
    • Near the Play button are buttons for how to play Help, High Scores, and More Games.
    • The lower left corner of the welcome screen has a language select dropdown.
    • The lower right corner of the welcome screen has buttons for social media sharing and reading game developer info.
  • Game Controls
    • Desktop
      • Use your mouse left click button to select a card and drag it where you wish to play it.
      • Click on the reserves pile to draw another card from the reserves.
    • Touchscreen devices
      • Tap the screen with a finger to select a card or a valid run of cards and drag the card or cards into the position you wish to play.
    • Controls & indicators
      • The 4 foundations are to the far left of the game.
      • The card stock or reserves is just right of the foundations near the top of the level.
      • The lower left corner of the game have buttons for playing in full screen mode & for turning autoplay to foundations on or off.
      • At the top of the right column the game shows your current score and remaining play time.
      • At the bottom of the right column are 4 buttons for pausing the game, undoing moves, controlling game music, and controlling game sound.
  • Game Play
    • Deal
      • Cards are dealt like they are in a standard single-deck Klondike Solitaire game where 28 cards are dealt to the tableau across 7 columns and the other 24 cards are dealt to the reserves.
      • The first column on the tableau has a single card in it & each subsequent column has one more card than the prior column.
      • The bottom card of each column on the tableau is face up with the remaining cards being dealt face down.
    • Playing
      • On the tableau build down in sequential order while alternating suits (color need not change, but you can’t repeat the same suit twice consecutively in a stack).
        • Any card (or any run of cards which changes suits) can be moved to empty columns on the tableau.
        • When there is only one card remaining in a tableau stack it is in “Protected” status, where you can have it played to a foundation, but you can not otherwise move it onto another tableau column & you can not move other cards onto it.
        • One way to bypass the “Protected” problem if you create an empty column is to move a stack of 2 or more cards onto it, so that the cards you lay do not become protected.
      • The reserves are dealt turn one, but you can only shuffle through the reserves once.
        • Once you have shuffled through all 24 reserves the cards on the tableau that were protected no longer are.
        • This game involves a lot of backtracking through the reserves you did not use on your first pass through them and the cards which had protected status when you moved through the stock.
    • Levels
      • This is a single-stage game where you have 20 minutes to move all cards to the 4 foundations.
    • Strategy
      • Since most of your points come from time it makes sense to play the game with autoplay turned on. It is turned off when you first start the game.
      • Due to the Protected feature for the final card on any column on the tableau it makes sense to try to work down the larger stacks rather than the shorter ones until you have shuffled through all of the reserves.
      • If the autoplay works against you by playing a card you do not want it to lay you can turn the feature off, undo moves, stack other cards, then turn the feature back on.
      • If you ever get stuck & no valid moves remain sometimes you can create one by swapping the lower parts of stacks on the tableau.
        • Stacks are easier to switch around after the protected feature is disabled as you do not need to alternate suit colors between lays but only alternate suit, giving you 3 potential ways to build a stack rather than 2.
    • Scoring
      • Each card you move to a foundation is worth 10 points, for a maximum base score of 520 points.
      • Each second you have remaining when you beat the game is worth 50 points.
        • Most of your game score will come from the remaining time if you manage to beat the game, as having only 11 seconds remaining would mean more time-based points than card-based points.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like Klondike Solitaire card games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
