Solitaire Rules
Value to Reach
Calculations
-
Place cards from the waste to the lower row, as advantageous, in order to reach the sum of the face values of the upper row.
-
It is possible to reach the sum with any number of cards. For example, if the sum in the upper row is 35, you can reach it with:
-
a King, a 10 and a Queen
-
a Queen, a 5, a 9 and another 9
-
an 8, a 4, a Jack, a 7 and a 5
-
Once placed, a card cannot be moved.
-
When the sum of the cards in the upper and lower rows are the same, all the cards are discarded and five new cards are automatically dealt to the tableau.
-
When the stock is exhausted, click the Redeal button to shuffle the cards to start over.
-
Three redeals are permitted (four deals in all).
-
The game is won if you successfully discard all the possible combinations of cards, until there are five or less cards left in the stock.
