Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Refuge Solitaire is a patience game with an unusual goal. Eight foundations sit in the middle of the table, and half of them are built upward while the other half go downward.
That mix makes it a little different from the solitaire most people know, and a good step up if Klondike feels too familiar. It is listed in our solitaire games. The cards stay readable on a smartphone screen, so it travels well.
Rules of Refuge Solitaire
Move cards from the outer piles to the eight middle foundations. Four foundations start at Ace and climb, the other four start at King and descend. On the tableau, a card may go onto another of its suit when their ranks differ by exactly one, up or down. Empty all the outer piles to win.
Refuge tips
- Decide early which foundations each suit will fill.
- Remember that tableau moves can go up or down in rank.
- Do not bury Aces or Kings, they start the foundations.
