How to play Penguin Solitaire

  1. 1The first card dealt is the beak. Its rank starts every foundation, and the other three cards of that rank go straight onto the foundations. The beak goes home once you dig it out from the head of the first column.
  2. 2The rest are dealt face up into seven columns of seven. Build each foundation up by suit from the beak’s rank, going round the corner from King to Ace, until all 52 cards are home.
  3. 3In the columns, build down in the same suit (a 6♠ on a 7♠), round the corner from Ace to King. Nothing goes on a card of the beak’s rank. A run in one suit moves together, however long it is.
  4. 4An empty column takes only the rank just below the beak (a King when the beak is an Ace), or a run headed by one.
  5. 5The flipper is seven cells along the top. Each holds one card, and a card there can come back onto a column or go home.
  6. 6Pick a card, then tap where it should go, or drag it there. Tap a card that can go home to send it straight there. If no card can move, the deal is over.
