How to play Black Hole Solitaire
- 1The Ace of Spades starts in the middle as the black hole. The other fifty-one cards are dealt face up in seventeen fans of three.
- 2Only the top card of a fan can move, and it can only go into the black hole, when it’s one rank higher or lower than the card on top there. Suits don’t matter. Tap a card that fits to play it.
- 3Ranks go round the corner: a King can go on an Ace and an Ace on a King, so a run can climb Q, K, A, 2…
- 4There’s no stock and no building on the fans, so every card you can see is a choice. Look ahead before you pick which fan to take from.
- 5Swallow all fifty-one cards to win. The game ends when no top card fits; the fewer cards you leave in the fans, the better.
