How to play Sultan Solitaire

  1. 1Two decks, 104 cards. The eight Kings and one Ace of Hearts start out in a square, with a King of Hearts, the Sultan, in the middle. Build the eight piles round him up to their Queens.
  2. 2Each King pile builds up in its own suit starting with the Ace: A 2 3 … J Q. The Ace of Hearts pile goes on with the 2 of Hearts and climbs to its Queen. The Sultan himself takes nothing.
  3. 3Eight cards lie face up in the divan, four each side of the square. Any of them can go home, and a gap there takes the waste’s top card whenever you like.
  4. 4Tap the stock to turn one card onto the waste. Its top card can go home or into a gap. When the stock runs out, tap it to turn the waste over and go through again. You get two of those, so three times through in all.
  5. 5Cards only ever build on the foundations. You win when all eight piles show a Queen around the Sultan. Pick a card, then tap where it goes, or drag it there.
