Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Penguin Solitaire is a close relative of FreeCell and Eight Off, with one big twist. Instead of stacking cards in alternating colors, you build sequences in the same suit. The penguins need your help to sort the deck out.
Fans of patience games who know FreeCell will pick it up in minutes, yet the suit rule changes how you plan. Our Solitaire category is where it lives, and it accepts clicks as well as taps on a phone.
Rules of Penguin Solitaire
You win by getting all 52 cards up onto the four foundations in the top right corner. Each of them is built in one suit, beginning with whatever card the deal puts there. Down in the tableau, columns are also built by suit. Free cells give you parking space for a card or two. Sequences may run on from King back round to Ace when that helps, in the foundations and the columns alike.
Solitaire tips
- Keep free cells empty for as long as you can, they are your safety net.
- Before each move, check which card is needed next on the foundations.
- Remember the wrap from King to Ace, it opens moves that look impossible at first.
