How to Play EG Solitaire King?

Playing EG Solitaire King is simple and intuitive, just like the classic card game:

1. Goal: Your main objective is to build four foundation piles (one for each suit: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) in ascending order (Ace to King).
2. Setup: The game starts with cards dealt into seven tableau piles. The first pile has 1 card face up, the second has 2 (1 down, 1 up), and so on up to the seventh pile with 7 cards (6 down, 1 up). The remaining cards form the draw pile.
3. Moving Cards:
   • Mouse: Simply left-click and drag a card to move it. You can move face-up cards to:
     • Build Tableau Sequences: Place a card on another tableau card of the opposite color and one rank higher (e.g., a red 7 can go on a black 8). You can also move sequences of properly built cards together.
     • Foundations: Move an Ace to an empty foundation pile to start it, or place the next card in sequence (same suit, ascending) onto an existing foundation pile.
     • Empty Tableau Space: You can place a King (or a sequence starting with a King) into an empty tableau column.
   • Keyboard: Use the arrow keys to navigate between cards/piles. Press Z (or sometimes Enter/Space) to select a card/pile, then navigate to the destination and press Z/Enter/Space again to place it. Press X to quickly flip cards from the draw pile.
4. Drawing Cards: Click on the draw pile (or press X) to turn over cards one (or sometimes three) at a time. These can then be played onto the tableau or foundations.
5. Winning: You win the game by successfully building all four foundation piles from Ace to King!

Controls Summary:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal of EG Solitaire King? The goal is to move all the cards from the tableau and draw pile onto the four foundation piles, building each suit in order from Ace to King.

How do I move cards? Use your mouse to left-click and drag a card to a valid destination (another tableau pile following color/rank rules, a foundation pile, or an empty tableau space for a King). Keyboard users can navigate with arrow keys and use Z/Enter/Space to select and place.

Can I undo a move? Yes! There's usually an Undo button available. Click it (or use the keyboard shortcut if available) to take back your last move.

How does scoring work? Scoring typically rewards you for moving cards to the foundation piles and may penalize you for drawing cards or using the undo feature. Aim for a high score by finishing quickly and efficiently!

Is there a time limit? Nope! EG Solitaire King is generally untimed, so you can relax and plan your moves at your own pace. Perfect for a chill gaming session.

What happens if I get stuck? If you can't make any more moves, the game will usually let you know. You can then choose to start a New Game and try again! Sometimes shuffling through the draw pile reveals the card you need.

Are there different difficulty levels? While it might not have labeled "difficulty" settings, dealing with different card layouts inherently changes the challenge. Some starting setups are trickier than others!

Can I play with draw-one or draw-three rules? The specific draw rule (turning over one card or three cards from the draw pile at a time) might be configurable in the game settings or be the standard mode. Check the game interface for options.

Why can't I move this card? You can only move a card if it's face-up and follows the rules: onto a tableau pile of the opposite color and one rank higher, onto its foundation pile in sequence, or a King (or King sequence) onto an empty tableau column.

Is this the same as Klondike Solitaire? Yes! EG Solitaire King is based on the most popular version of solitaire, often called Klondike. It's the classic solitaire experience.
