An introduction to playing Golf Solitaire
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
