How to play Royal Cotillion Solitaire

  1. 1Two decks, 104 cards. Get every card onto the eight foundations.
  2. 2One Ace and one 2 of each suit start the foundations. Each builds up in its suit by twos, going round the corner after the King: an Ace pile runs A 3 5 7 9 J K 2 4 6 8 10 Q, and a 2 pile runs 2 4 6 8 10 Q A 3 5 7 9 J K.
  3. 3Twelve cards make the reserve: three lines of four. Only the last card of each line (the one on the right) can move, and nothing ever goes back.
  4. 4Sixteen more cards make the grounds. Any card there can move, and you can fill a gap with the top card of the waste whenever you like.
  5. 5Tap the stock to turn one card onto the waste. Its top card can go to a foundation or into a gap. You go through the stock only once.
  6. 6Cards only ever build on the foundations. The game ends when every card is home, or when the stock is gone and nothing more can move. Pick a card, then tap where it goes, or drag it there. A card that fits a foundation goes straight there when you tap it.
