Solitaire Rules

Value to Reach

  • The sum of the face values of the three cards in the upper row determine the value to reach in each of the hands.

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.

  • Once placed, a card cannot be moved.

  • It is possible to reach the sum with less than three cards. For example, if the three cards of the upper row total to 13, you can discard them with a King, a 6 and a 7, or with an Ace, a 4 and an 8.

  • When the two sums equal, all the cards are discarded and three new cards are automatically dealt to the tableau.

  • When the stock is exhausted, click on 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 cards of the stock.
