Australian Solitaire Card Game

Sorting Cards Into Home Cells

Australian Solitaire asks you to move a standard deck of cards into four home cells, each sorted by suit from Ace through King. The tableau holds seven columns, and every column starts with four cards. The win condition is simple to state and hard to reach: every card must end up in its correct home cell.

The Auto-Ace Rule and Reserve Deck

What separates this variant from many solitaire games is the automatic Ace rule. When an Ace appears as the last card in a column, it moves to a home cell on its own and begins a new stack. You then build that stack upward by adding cards of the same suit in increasing rank order. A reserve deck in the upper left corner provides extra cards, but it can be used only once per game. That single-use limit turns the reserve into a resource you spend at the right moment rather than a safety net.

Moving Cards Between Columns

To arrange the tableau, you can move cards between columns and form descending sequences of the same suit, such as King, Queen, Jack. Building these runs frees up cards and creates empty spaces. When you click the reserve deck, the dealt card appears in a cell beside the deck rather than directly into a column, so you must decide where it fits before the deal is gone.
