Solitaire Rules

Jawaker’s Solitaire adds a competitive twist to the classic game in a race against the clock. You will be matched with an opponent, and the player who earns the highest score wins.

Each player uses one standard 52-card deck without jokers. A game lasts four minutes and ends when the timer runs out or both players finish. If both players finish before the four minutes are up, they can submit their scores and receive a time bonus.

Your goal is to arrange the cards by suit and in ascending order, from A to K, on the foundation piles. Complete all four foundation piles to win.

Foundation piles: The four piles where cards must be stacked by suit in ascending order, from A to K. The foundations begin empty, and your goal is to move every card onto them.

Tableau: The seven piles that make up the main playing area. The first pile contains one card, the second contains two, and so on until the seventh pile. Only the top card of each pile is face-up at the beginning of the game.

Stock: The remaining face-down cards. Tap the stock to draw three cards at a time. After going through the entire stock, you may restart it up to three times without losing points. Each additional restart deducts 20 points.

Waste pile: The face-up cards drawn from the stock. Only the top card of the waste pile can be moved to the tableau or a foundation pile.

Undo button: Use it to reverse any move. You may use it as often as needed, but any points earned from the reversed moves will be deducted.

Finish button: Use it when you run out of available moves and cannot earn more points. A confirmation message will show your score summary and whether your current score can win before you end the game.

How to Play

1. Arrange all cards on the foundation piles in ascending order, from A to K.
2. At the beginning of the game, move any available A cards from the tableau to the foundation piles.

3. If you cannot move any more cards to the foundations, look for available moves within the tableau.
4. You may move a card or sequence between tableau piles when the card being moved is one rank lower and the opposite color of the card beneath it.

5. When no more moves are available on the tableau, draw three cards from the stock.

6. Check whether the top card of the waste pile can be moved to the tableau or a foundation pile.
7. Continue moving cards from the tableau to the foundations or between tableau piles to reveal more face-down cards.
8. When no more tableau moves are available, draw another three cards from the stock and continue playing.

9. Only a K can be moved to an empty tableau space.

10. If you reach a dead end, you can finish the game and submit your score to receive a time bonus.
