How To Play Cruel Solitaire

Did you know there are hundreds, if not thousands of solitaire games? You may have heard of some of the more popular ones, such as Freecell, Klondike, Pyramid, or Spider Solitaire.

But there are LOTS of other solitaire games as well. One of my favourites is a little-
known game called Cruel Solitaire.

The aim of cruel solitaire is to build 4 ascending suit sequences in the foundation
zone.

The opening tableau is made up of 4 foundation stacks (Each containing an Ace), a
talon, and 12 manoeuvre stacks, each containing 4 cards.

You can move cards in the foundation stack onto cards of the same suit, and one
more in rank.

For example, you can move a 3 of Clubs onto a 4 of Clubs, or a Queen of Hearts
onto a King of Hearts, and a 2 of Spades onto a 3 of Spades.

REDEALING IN CRUEL SOLITAIRE…

The talon in Cruel Solitaire is unlike the talon in other solitaire games. It doesn’t
actually deal out any more cards.

Instead, it redeals the cards in the manoeuvre stacks, so that each stack has 4
cards. The order of the cards stays the same, starting at the leftmost stack, with the
bottom cards on a stack going to the top of the next stack.

CRUEL SOLITAIRE STRATEGY…

Understanding how the redeal works is the key to doing well in Cruel Solitaire.

You should focus on only redealing when you have to. The more you play, the more
you’ll start to discover certain patterns that occur when you redeal. (HINT: A Card on
top will stay on top, if all the stacks to the left of it have 4 cards).

Once you understand these patterns, you will be able to have control over which
cards will shuffle around when you redeal. When you get to this stage of
understanding, winning cruel solitaire becomes much easier… just focus on moving
the rightmost cards to the talon first, and try and leave some leftmost cards in
reserve for when you run out of moves. The best case scenario for this is to have a 2
at the top leftmost column. If this happens, don’t move the 2 to the talon, until you
have exhausted all other moves and redeals.

If you play solitaire, and you would like to try a different game for a change, then
give Cruel Solitaire a go… I’m sure you’ll find it a lot of fun!

Introduction to Solitaire

Solitaire is a card game that originated in Australia. In the US, it is known as ‘Solitaire’ and in British English it is referred to as ‘Patience.’ This card game has over 54 variations. There are multiplayer solitaire card games too.

It is a game generally played with a deck of 52 cards. Solitaire games involve dealing cards from a shuffled deck in a methodical arrangement on a table. A player tries to re-order the deck by suit and rank through a series of moves, transferring cards from one place to another. There are prescribed restrictions that have to be followed. All the cards of a certain rank form the guidelines on which the suits are built. The moves proceed until the game is won or a further move is impossible. This is known as making or breaking the game. Some games allow re-shuffling of the deck or the placement of cards in a new or empty location.

Solitaire has its own terminology. There are many types of solitaire games, but the term solitaire is often used to refer to the most well known form called ‘Klondike.’ The other types of solitaire have been adapted into two-player competitive games. As mentioned earlier, solitaire has many variations using either one or more deck of cards with rules of varying complexity and skill level. Many of these have been converted in to electronic games and are available on computers. There are about 150 solitaire card games that have been devised.

The term solitaire is used for single-player games of dexterity and the ability to play the game. The games use a set of layout of tiles, pegs and stones, instead of cards. This card game is played all over the world and enjoyed by people of all ages.
