Build runs from King to Ace in one suit.

How to Play

  1. Two decks are dealt into ten columns, with only the bottom card of each face up. The other 50 cards wait in the stock.
  2. You can place a card on any card one rank higher, whatever its suit. An empty column takes any card.
  3. Only a run of the same suit, in descending order, can be moved as a group.
  4. Click the stock to deal one new card onto every column. Every column must have at least one card before you can deal.
  5. A complete run from King down to Ace in one suit is cleared automatically. Clear all eight runs to win.

Tips & Strategy

  • Start with 1 suit. Every card is a spade, so every stack is a movable run.
  • Prefer moves that turn over a face-down card, or that join cards of the same suit.
  • Empty columns are your most powerful resource, so don't fill them with a low card without a reason.
  • Before dealing, make every useful move. A deal buries ten cards.
  • Use Undo and Hint freely while you learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

With 1 suit every card is a spade, so all descending stacks are movable runs. 2 suits uses spades and hearts, and 4 suits uses all four, which makes clean runs much harder to build. Expert players win only a fraction of 4-suit games.

You start with 500 points, lose one per move (deals and undos count), and gain 100 for each completed suit.

The standard rule is that every column must hold at least one card before a deal. Move something into the empty column first.
