FavoriteLoadingAdd game to your favorites

This solitaire game has 8 columns of cards on the tableau. Initially 4 of the columns have 2 cards each while the other 4 columns have 1 card each. Players can stack cards in the tableau sequentially up or down, though cards must be suited.

The remaining 92 cards are in the reserve, which is dealt in 6 stacks with the last round of 8 cards being played on the 8 columns of the tableau. Players get 4 rounds of 6 stacks to deal and the other remaining cards are stacked 9-deep underneath the top cards shown on those 6 stacks.

  • Order cards sequentially by suit in the tableau.
  • Set aces and kings in stacks at the top of the playing field.
  • Count down from the king on the 4 right foundations and count up from the ace on the 4 left foundations.

Algerian Patience Solitaire Game Play Instructions

How to Play Algerian Patience Solitaire

Stack suited cards sequentially on the tableau and build up the 8 foundations.

  • Starting the Game
    • Click the yellow play button in the lower right corner. Read the proverb that comes up, and click again to start the game.
  • Game Controls
    • Mouse
      • Click on a card to select it.
      • Drag the card to where you want to place it.
    • Touchscreen
      • Use your finger like a mouse.
    • The upper right corner of the game has buttons to exit the game, read gameplay instructions, and turn sound on or off.
  • Game Play
    • The name of this game is to quickly build up your foundations as fast as you can and try to leave multiple open columns on the playing field if possible.
      • Quickly building your foundations means a broader range of cards will be playable between the tableau and the foundations, while you will also work through the cards in your reserves.
      • Leaving one or more columns open on the tableau makes it easier to organize cards.
    • No undo button
      • This game does not have an undo button, so be careful when laying your cards.
      • You can select a card and move it slightly to see the card underneath it before committing to laying it.
    • Suited sequential order
      • When you place cards on the tableau they need to be of the same suit as the card you are laying them on.
      • They also need to be sequentially above or below the prior card.
      • You can create a run of cards which moves in both directions, meaning you can have cards go 7-8-9-8-9-10 as long as they are all the same suit.
    • Work your foundations together
      • Each suit has 2 foundations with one going from ace up and the other going from king down.
      • You can move cards back and forth between foundations to use additional cards from the reserve or the tableau.
        • For example, if you have king down to 8 of clubs in one stack and ace up to 7 in another stack and you want to get rid of the 6 of clubs from the tableau then you would move the 7 on the 8 and then put the 6 on the 7.
        • When you have a choice to lay cards counting upward or downward you often want to go middle out.
          • Higher cards: If you have a 9-10-jack of spades available and the king of spades is already on a foundation then you would generally want to stack the cards in the tableau with the jack as the bottommost card so when you get a queen of spades you can quickly lay the jack, 10, then 9 on that foundation.
          • Lower cards: For lower cards near the bottom end of the run you want to stack cards on the tableau sequentially with the lowest card at the bottom.
    • Empty columns
      • If you can create one or more empty columns on the tableau it gives you additional flexibility with re-ordering cards near the top of the reserve or the cards on other tableau columns.
      • Many solitaire games require you not have any empty places on the tableau to deal another round of cards, but this game has a double bonus:
        • You can deal additional rounds of cards from the reserve with empty columns.
        • All deals from the reserve except the final deal place cards on the 6 reserve piles. Only the last deal of 8 goes onto the tableau.
  • Audience
    • The word patience in the title is not an accident. 😉 This game is best for those who have time to spend on it and are OK spending a good amount of time without winning the hand.
      • This game does not have an undo button, so be careful with your lays!
      • We also publish another Algerian Patience Game which does have an undo button.
    • There are no adult themes, but most adults other than Tom Hanks will like this game.
