1. Classic Solitaire Rules
Classic Solitaire uses a standard 52 card deck of playing cards (without jokers).
The objective of the game is to reveal and sort cards in the main game area (called the tableau) and move them up into the foundation piles (4 boxes with an “A” inside). Once all cards are moved to the foundation, you win!

Foundation
There are 4 foundation piles (each of the 4 piles indicated by a box with an “A” inside). To begin building a foundation pile, an Ace must be placed in one of the slots. Cards of the same suit can be placed on top of the Ace in order from Ace to King. Once all 4 foundation piles are built up, the game is over.
Tableau
The game begins with a cascading arrangement of cards (randomly dealt) being placed in the 7 tableau columns face down with the top card in each column revealed. Card sequences can be built by placing cards in descending values (e.g., J, 10, 9, 8, etc.) and in alternating colors (Red, Black) on top of each other. Within the tableau area, sequences of cards or partially completed piles can be moved on top of other cards in other columns as long as it will continue the descending card sequence. After a card is moved from a column leaving a face down card behind, the new card will automatically be flipped over to reveal it. Any Empty column can be filled with a King or pile of cards with a King at the top.
Stock Pile
The stock pile contains the remaining cards that have not yet been moved to the foundation or to the tableau areas. Tapping on the top of the stock pile flips and reveals the next card in the deck (flip 1 card or 3 cards at a time depending on the draw option that is selected). Move cards from the stock pile area to either the foundation or to the tableau to continue sequencing cards as long as it is a legal move based on the rules for the tableau. Once all of the cards are flipped over from the stock pile, it can be reset by clicking the empty card slot with the reset arrow icon. In this game mode, the stock pile can be reset as many times as you would like for you to cycle through them again.

Standard Game Options
3 Card Draw - Switch to this mode where every time you tap the top card in the stock pile, 3 cards will be flipped over. You can only access the top card, making this mode more challenging than playing single card mode.
Left Handed Deal - This option will flip the game orientation so that the stock pile is on the left making the game a little easier to play for left handed players.
Show Score/Time - This option will hide the top area. Your Score, Time and Moves are still being captured in the background so this can always be shown again in the future.
All Winning Deals - When this option is selected, all of the new deals can be won. They are not always easy but can be won depending on how the round is played!
Tap Cards to Move - This game option will remove the ability to tap a card and have it automatically move to a valid location. You will have to press and hold a card you want to move and drag it to the location you want it to go. If the move is not valid, the card will move back to its original location.
Show Hints - The Hint button at the bottom in the main navigation can be hidden to make the game a little harder.
Show Undos - The Undo button at the bottom in the main navigation can be hidden to make the game a little harder.
2. Vegas Solitaire Rules
Vegas Solitaire uses a standard 52 card deck of playing cards (without jokers).
The overall goal is to earn more money than is wagered. The player starts with an initial wager of -$52 (-$1 for every card in the deck) and the objective of the game is to reveal and sort cards in the main game area (called the tableau) and move them up into the foundation piles (4 boxes with “A” inside). Once cards are moved to the foundation it will earn the player $. Move all of the cards to the foundation to win a maximum of $208.

3.0 Daily Challenges
Game Format
Each day, a new challenge is available to play. The challenge will be a standard Classic Solitaire 1 card game format. Each of the daily challenges are winnable but at times may require a certain sequence of moves to be played in order to win (If you get stuck, you are able to replay the game to try again or quit if you can’t figure it out). You can only finish the daily challenge once a day and will have to wait for the following day to play again.
Progress
If you can solve the challenge, you will be awarded your daily progress. Daily challenges do not have to be completed every single day as each completed day will move your overall progress forward by 1 (If you miss a daily challenge, your progress will not be reset. The next day, you can pick up where you left off). Once you reach one of the thresholds (10, 20 and 30 Daily Challenges Complete, you are awarded a larger prize). After you have completed 30 daily challenges, the progress bar will be reset the next day you return and you can complete the 30 day challenge again.
Scoring
Scoring will follow the same scoring structure as the Classic Solitaire game.
Sharing Your Score
After you complete a Daily Challenge, you are able to share that score from the results screen or the Daily Challenge recap screen up until the next day’s challenge starts (indicated by the red timer).
