How To Play Clear The Dungeon | a solitaire card game | Skip Solo

How to play Clear the Dungeon, a modern taken on traditional solitaire. When I designed this game, I was playing a lot of classic solitaire games like Klondike and Pyramid. I wanted to add my own interpretation to the mix, so I created Clear the Dungeon. I hope you enjoy it!


Check out GridCannon and let them know I sent ya!

The name "Clear The Dungeon" has an old style RPG vibe I really love. Cheers from Spain, m8!

I’m glad I stumbled across this. This one is pretty fun (and the concept is similar to Pyramid with the addition). And the fact you can lose in the last hand keep you on your toes. I lost 2 of 3 games in the last hand

Def a winner and on my list of solo card games. Great job making this game!

I love this game been playing for over a month. But at times it becomes really repetitive. I'm trying to slightly modify the game so it can be more risk taking by trying to make the game more like an rpg. I've thought about still making the face cards the monsters but their health is now increased to J-20 Q-22 K-25 Instead of 4 columns it can be 1 or 2. While making the value cards (including ace and joker) something like an attack and defend. Value cards 1-5 are attack cards while value cards 6-10 are defend cards. Attack cards the damage is the number on the card same for defense. Your health pool is 100. You take damage by the amount of health left of the monster after your turn. You still pull 3 cards.

Grid Canon is amazing, I’m so glad to find a game similar to it. This one might actually be easier for my kids to pick up! Thanks!

Looks like a simpler version of Gridcannon! It's cool and takes up less space! Although, I think I still favour the "board" aspect of Grincannon, Clear the dungeon seems like a great alternative :)

this looks really fun! I was looking for unique solitaire games, thanks for making this!!

I thought my grandmother this game, but opted to call it Regicide instead as "Clear the Dungeon" would have been a foreign concept to her as she isn't really a fantasy person.

I think it makes more sense anyways and fits the aesthetics of the face cards to imagine yourself assassinating royal families.

I came across this mentioned in a comment on a gridcannon video. Great use of the concept for a simpler, quick game. Great job.

I just recently found your channel. I really love this game. I’ve been playing it a ton. Thanks for sharing!

This is so amazing, the attack card managing aspect of this game creates tention and makes the game challenging, almost like managing a limited emount of bullets. Imagine a deck of cards made specifically for this and the face cards having monsters for their pictures!

Wow, this is truly outstanding!! Just had a couple of lovely gameplays. Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[SkittlesMan]

Really glad I found this video, I think this game is so cool and I'll be testing this out!

[cataestacio]

I played it today and it's a really cool game to play alone! Thank you for the idea!

I just played it and won with literally one card left, I thought I was safe because I had one spare hand after my current hand, but my current hand wasn't enough to take out the last king so I had to discard it. Luckily my last hand had a 7 that i could throw on the 6 that was already placed on the king and had a trigger card :)

Huge congratulations on this! This is a great game. Thank you!

[discordiscalling]

Just played a game of this and lost in the last 3 cards F
but this is still an amazing game, I have a new love for this

[alexschubert]

this is so much fun! thank you so much!
and I even feel it's kind of customizable with for example a dice that gives any given monster a certain bonus👀

[zachoryfostor]

A solo game or play the game with someone across from you with their own deck of cards and take turns laying down one attack card at a time instead of two and the first person to eliminate their side of the table will be known as the true ruler!

Great game! It’s a really neat idea : )
It got me experimenting
I played a couple rounds then started playing with some different rules. For example if you use the same suit and it adds up perfectly, no activation card required! I also added the ability to pile on cards of the same suit, giving you more chances to get that perfect match. You can still add another card from a different suit, just treat the cumulative cards of the same suit as one card, making sure the cumulative value is over the face card’s value. This ends the streak, so you’ve effectively added the second card and have to play a same suit activation card to remove the face card, per normal play,
I played a few rounds with these rules and it wasn’t too overpowered and really made those Jokers more valuable. In the end, I don’t think it added too much complexity but it did add a fun tension. It was a lot of fun! Thank you for this neat single player game, keep up the good work. Solitaire does have it’s limits.

This is a fun game and a difficult one! I've played a bunch and lost most of my games, but still like it! The Theory 11 High Victorian deck has the number values of the face cards on the cards making it ideal for playing this game too!
