Citadel is a similar game that challenges you in a different way and is a little easier to win.

The despair in your voice at the end 😂 im gonna try in your name bro but so far, its kicking my ass

In order to win at this game you have yo keep a "chess mentality". For every move that is possible, you have to compute in your mind the sequence of moves that follow and choose the path that leads to a "better" position. Compute 3 or 4 moves ahead before committing. There's definitely a strategy component to this game.

Sorry for seeing this and commenting four whole years later but thank you. Gave me somthing to do lol. I will say I allowed myself to stack like in normal solitaire (let’s say if I had a 6 then If I put a 5 on it they would be a “pair” so I could either move them together or take the bottom one and move it by itself) which is the only way I could win

I love solitaire (and cards in general). I've only ever played "7 solitaire" (solo, anyway), but this'll be a nice way to "shake things up" a bit when one game becomes tedious. 😊

This is exactly where I would've ended up too! 😀

Would be great to see a video on Gaps (aka Montana Solitaire).

Did a mistake dealing the cards in the beginning. There is 7 cards on the left side 3 rows down. Also, 5 cards on the right side 4 rows down only had 5 cards. Suppose to be 6 cards in each row. Maybe that was your mistake.

Question: If I had a layout of cards like, for example...

*Q, K /// 8, 4, J, 10, 9*

And I were to "flip" the cards on the right around in sequence in order to make...

*9, 10, J, Q, K /// 8, 4*

Would that be a legal move or not?

[fightevilbymoon]

Could you technically move that jack and 10 up to the queen and then move the other queen over to the exposed king, then you would have a blank space to put the king. Then you would have a pile with only a king and a 2 and maybe you could do something with that? Could you do that?

The game was fun i got 4 rows of completed with A's in the middle and K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. You need i stacks of cards to complete the whole thing with 8 rows with K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 in them but i finished. Thanks for teaching me how to play this game

How my things look at the end of the game


2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K A K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K A K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2

Is this how it is supposed to look at the end of the game?

[sherriparks]

If you clear a row of the 6 cards next to an Ace can you move a King to that blank spot?

[D_MAG]

Question: Say if I had the cards like this

8 7 6
Would I be able to move them all together or would I have to move them 1 by 1

[jnkdevine]

i thought each row needs to start with 6 cards each ? You began with 7 in one row and 5 in another

[EmmaAlmodovar-rzfc]

4:12 I don't know if I'm correct but





Can't u take that J and move it up to the ten


Then take that king and move that to the ace?

[sonjamarkeiwitz]

Can I move kings at all if not onto the middle stacks?
