History of Solitaire. One-player card games are called by some form of the word ‘solitaire’ in some countries (US, Spain, Italy, etc), ‘patience‘ in others (UK, France, etc) or ‘kabale’ in others (Scandinavia, eastern Europe), but both ‘solitaire’ and ‘patience’ are increasingly common worldwide.

Stack cards on the tableau in alternating colors and descending order. The goal is to transfer all cards from the tableau to the foundations (the four slots on the right). This card game is a bit different from the standard solitaire game. Freecell solitaire is a variation of solitaire that includes spaces to hold cards.

The object of this strategy game is to place all of the cards into the four foundations at the top. The cards in each foundation slot must be of the same suit and in ascending order (Ace to King). To achieve this, stack the cards on the tableau in descending order (King to Ace). Make sure to alternate colors. Beat the game when you have sorted all cards into the foundations. By playing card games such as solitaire, you can exercise your mind while having fun.

How to Deal:

Flip the first card atop the stockpile over so that it is face up on the table. Deal another six cards, this time face down, in line with the first card that was flipped over. This creates the seven column tableau necessary to play. From there deal one card face up on the remaining columns, one by one so that the first column consist of one card face up and the last column has six cards face down and one card face up. Use the image below for reference as to how the initial setup should look.

There are two acceptable ways of dealing cards from the stockpile. You can flip cards from the stockpile either one at a time or three at a time. Dealing three at a time is the more common way to play.

So essentially your objective is to move cards around the board to create complete build piles. You create a build pile by layering cards of opposite color on top of each other in descending order. You are allowed to move around the top facing cards on the tableau as well as cards that are flipped from the deck. For example, in the image above the black nine of spades can be moved onto the red 10 of hearts to begin the consolidation process. If you move a top facing card onto another top facing card on the tableau you can then go back a flip over the underlying card from the column in which you moved from.
A build pile starts with an ace and ends with a king. Cards can be moved from the tableau to the build pile when there is no other card on top of them and they are next in order of hierarchy. For example, in the image above the ace of hearts can be moved up to start the build pile, the two of hearts can then be moved on top of it as it is next in the order of sequence. Notice that the ace leaves an empty space on the tableau, only a king can be moved onto an empty space such as this, and when moved, all the cards on top of it must be moved over as well.

You are only required to draw from the stockpile when you run out of moves in your columns. If you choose to deal three cards at a time you can only use whichever drawn card is on top and work your way down. If you are stuck even after dealing from the deck, you can deal yourself three more cards but must continue to only use the top most card and work your way down.

How to win:

You have successfully won the game of solitaire when all cards have been removed from the tableau and successfully placed on the build piles.
