The 5 primary rules to solving every game faster and easier than ever!
If you already know how to play traditional solitaire, then you already know virtually everything there is to know about how to play Full Color® Solitaire except now we take you to levels and challenges that were never possible until we introduced the 13, 16, 19, 22 & 25 card sets in Full Color® Cards.
If you've never played solitaire, then it's about as easy as it gets in card gaming! Regardless of the game or the card set, there are 5 primary rules to solving every game faster and easier than ever! First we give you the list then you can see it in action below!
- Move all White Cards™ to the Any White Card™ Foundation
- Move the lowest colored cards to the Color Card Foundation
- Move the highest card to any open cell
- You can't put same colored cards on same colored cards in games of alternating suits
Use Smart Moves™ of touch / tap preferences and gestures to automove cards to logical locations
➊ MOVE ALL CARDS TO THE ANY WHITE CARD™ FOUNDATION!
Move Any White Card™ to the Any White Card™ Foundation at any time!
The number one reason why games cannot be solved in traditional solitaire is caused by a necessary card being trapped underneath another card that you can't find or get to.
The white suit finally resolves this problem!
The White Cards™ do many different things, depending on which format of Full Color® Games you are playing.
In Full Color® Solitaire, the White Card™ serves as a BONUS CARD and here is how it works.
Any time a White Card™ appears, you can immediately remove it to the Any White Card™ foundation, regardless of its number. This turns the White Card™ into a "free card" or a "bonus card" whichever way you'd like to look at it.
As you can see in the video above, a 12 of WHITE CARD™ appears and you can instantly tap it and move it to the Any White Card™ Foundation and you instantly unlock the card below it which in this case is the 9 OF GREEN.
You can either touch / tap the White Card™ and it will automove on its own, or you can touch and drag it or you can use diagonal gesture swipes to automove it.
You do this at the start every game, after every deal and any time another White Card™ appears!
But don't be fooled, just because you have an entire suit of free / bonus cards to move, you still have to apply skill sets of logic and deductive reasoning to win! Just know that if you don't win in games like Klondike, FreeCell or Spider 1, 2 or 4 Suit, it doesn't mean that it can't be won, it just means you made a mistake somewhere along the way, need to restart the game and make a new combination of moves to get to the end!
Have fun!
➋ MOVE THE LOWEST CARDS TO THEIR FOUNDATION
Move colored cards or completed stack up to their colored foundation in order at any time!
In games of FreeCell and Klondike, you can move the lowest card (always the 1 Card in any colored suit) up to its an empty colored foundation at any time its available as a top card. We use the color card foundations to as build up to the highest card in the set based on the rules of the game!
In games of Spider when you have completed a stack on the tabletop, you can then move the entire stack up to any open color foundation all at once.
One of tricks to the game is knowing that you can always pull cards back down from a color foundation in order to move cards off of a tableau to free up cards underneath of them. This is quintessential at times in the higher card stacks to uncovering them all and resolving the game.
Even more important than that, is moving stacks to other stacks to free up an alternating color when identical suited cards with same values appear. This is explained in greater detail in the Tips & Tricks Section.
➌ MOVE THE HIGHEST CARDS TO AN OPEN CELL
Move the highest card in the suit to any open tableau!
In Games of Klondike and Spider, you will want to move the high card into any open column once they become available as you begin to sort colored cards.
Regardless of which game you're playing the low cards and the high cards in any card set always have a profound effect on how you sort the cards and win the game!
➍ GAMES OF ALTERNATING COLORS → NO SAME COLORED CARDS
You CANNOT put the same colored suited card on the same colored suit!
Just like a game of traditional solitaire, you CANNOT put the SAME COLORED CARD on a SAME COLORED CARD in any column. It will bounce back and to where it started from!
The rules are simple, in games of alternating colors, simply sort all of the colored cards DOWN in numerical order in ALTERNATING colors while removing any white cards along the way!
The ultra advantage in Full Color® Solitaire that you do NOT have in traditional solitaire is now you have THREE different suits to create alternating colors for sorting, resolving and winning a game whereas in traditional solitaire you only have two red or two black to sort from, meaning you do not end up in a sorting death trap!
➎ USE SMART MOVES™ OF TOUCH / TAPS & GESTURES
You MUST move different colored cards on top of other different colored cards!
Just like a game of traditional solitaire, you MUST put a DIFFERENT COLORED CARD on a DIFFERENT COLORED CARD in any tableau as long as the number is lower that the card you are placing it on!
The rules are simple, in games of alternating colors, simply sort all of the colored cards DOWN in numerical order in ALTERNATING colors while removing any white cards along the way!
But don't be fooled, just because you have an entire suit of bonus / free White Cards™ to move and you have three alternative color suits to sort with, you still have to apply all of your best skills, logic and deductive reasoning to win!
Just know that if you don't win in games like Klondike, FreeCell or Spider 1, 2 or 4 Suit, it doesn't mean that it can't be won, it just means you made a mistake somewhere along the way, need to restart the game and make a new combination of moves to get to the end!
