How to play Cruel Solitaire
- 1Move every card to the four foundations, building each up by suit from Ace to King.
- 2The four Aces start on the foundations. The other 48 cards are dealt face up into twelve piles of four. Only the top card of each pile can move.
- 3A top card can go to its foundation, or onto the top card of another pile that is one higher in the same suit (the 6♥ on the 7♥). A pile that runs out of cards stays empty.
- 4Redeal whenever you like, as often as you like: the piles are picked up in order, first pile first, and dealt out again in fours without shuffling. Cards keep their order, but they land in new piles, which can free a buried card.
- 5The game ends when every card is home, or when nothing can move and a redeal would change nothing.
- 6Pick a card, then tap where it should go — or drag it there. A card that can go to a foundation goes straight there when you tap it.
