How to play Shamrocks Solitaire

  1. 1Get all 52 cards onto the four foundations, building each suit up from Ace to King.
  2. 2Every card is dealt face up: seventeen fans of three, and one fan holding the last card. A King that lands on a lower card of its own suit is tucked to the bottom of its fan.
  3. 3Only the top card of a fan can move. Send it home, or put it on another fan whose top card is one rank higher or lower, whatever the suit (a 6 on a 5 or a 7). Kings and Aces don’t wrap round.
  4. 4A fan can never hold more than three cards, and a fan that empties stays empty.
  5. 5There’s no stock and no second deal: the game ends when every card is home or nothing more can move.
  6. 6Pick a card, then tap where it should go, or drag it there. A top card that fits a foundation goes there with one tap.
