Solitaire Mini App

Solitaire is a fun and straightforward card game that only requires one player. You use a standard deck of 52 cards, and your goal is to move all the cards into four “foundation piles.” Each pile must follow a sequence from Ace to King in the same suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades).

Setting Up the Game

To start, shuffle the deck and deal the cards into seven columns, or tableaus. The first column gets one card, the second column two, and this pattern continues up to seven cards in the last column. The top card in each column faces up, while the others remain face down.

You also need space for four foundation piles and a stockpile, where unused cards are placed. You draw cards from the stockpile when needed to keep playing.

How to Play Solitaire

The objective of Solitaire is to build each foundation pile in ascending order by suit. You move cards from the tableau columns, alternating colors (red and black) and stacking them in descending order (e.g., a red Queen on a black King). When you reveal a face-down card by moving the one on top, it turns face-up and can be played. You can also draw cards from the stockpile if no moves are possible. The game ends when all the cards are in the foundation piles

Winning Strategies

Success in Solitaire involves more than just luck. Here are some useful tips:

• Reveal hidden cards as soon as possible: Exposing face-down cards increases your options.
• Focus on Aces and 2s: Starting your foundation piles early is crucial for advancing the game.
• Tackle larger columns first: Try to empty columns with more cards, as they hold important face-down cards​.

By following these strategies, you’ll improve your chances of winning the game.
