How to Play

Play Crescent Solitaire for free. Crescent Solitaire is a two-deck solitaire game where players organize the cards on the tableau in sequential order by suit, building up the 8 foundations. For each suit a foundation from each direction is already started with one king and one ace per suit already being laid on a foundation. Rather than having a reserve (as most solitaire games do) this game instead allows you to shuffle the 96 cards on the tableau's 16 columns up to 3 times per game. This game is rendered in mobile-friendly HTML5, so it offers cross-device gameplay. You can play it on mobile devices like Apple iPhones, Google Android powered cell phones from manufactures like Samsung, tablets like the iPad or Kindle Fire, laptops, and Windows-powered desktop computers.

        Game Play
        The name of this game is to quickly build up your foundations as fast as you can so that it leaves more cards potentially playable.
        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.
        Try to create an empty column on the tableau.
        An empty column on the tableau provides you a lot of flexibility to reorganize your remaining cards.
        Normally you can only lay cards in ascending or descending order as they are stacked, but if you have an empty column you can reverse their order.
        For example, let’s say you have king through jack of hearts on one foundation and ace through 3 of hearts on another foundation. If you have a column of cards on the tableau which is a descending stack of hearts from 10 to 5 you would not be able to play that. But if you had an empty column you could lay the 5 of hearts onto that, build up to the 10, then lay from 10 down to 5 on the king through jack foundation.
        Build in the correct direction
        If you have the king and queen of spades on a foundation and have the 10 and 9 of spades on the tableau you typically would want to lay the 10 on top of the 9 so that if you can find a jack you can lay all three cards onto the foundation.
        Undoing moves
        When you pick up a card and begin to move it you can see the card underneath it, so it gives you options when considering which card to lay if you have
        two of the same card showing
        a sequential run of suited cards in the middle (e.g. 6-7-8) and you are trying to determine if you want to stack them in ascending or descending order
        This game also contains an undo button in the lower left corner, however it can only be use one move at a time. You can not undo multiple consecutive moves after the card has already been laid, which is why it is important to use the above mentioned drag and reveal technique.
        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.
        Do not complete a foundation prematurely if the other associated foundation in that suit is far from completion or else you limit the ability to have the foundations work together.
        You can NOT lay cards from the foundation back onto the tableau, but you can move them across from one foundation to the other.
        Other than the ace and king you can move cards back and forth between the foundations to use additional cards from 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.
        Audience
        This game has only 3 reshuffles, so it is best for players who are meticulous and have a great attention to detail.
        We also offer another Crescent Solitaire Game, which starts off easier than this version but gets harder by the time you get to the final level.
        There are no adult themes, but most adults other than Tom Hanks will like this game.
