Carpet Solitaire

Objective

The aim of Carpet Solitaire is to build all four suits up from Ace to King using a standard 52-card deck.

Setup

FOUNDATION - At the beginning all Aces are separated from the deck and placed on 4 foundation piles.

CARPET - Remaining 48 cards are shuffled and 20 cards are laid out in a 5x4 grid to form "the carpet".

STOCK - After dealing cards to the carpet, remaining cards are set aside forming a stock pile.

WASTE - An empty waste pile.

Gameplay

  • Foundation piles are built up by suit.
  • Cards can be moved from the carpet or waste pile to the foundations. After moving a card to the foundation any gap left in the carpet can be filled by a card from the waste pile.
  • Cards can be moved from the stock to the waste pile one at a time with no re-deal. Only the top card from the waste pile is available for play.

The game is won when all cards end up in the foundation.

Controls

  • Drag and drop cards between piles.
  • Click top card in the stock pile to draw card to the waste pile.
  • Double click card in the waste pile or, the carpet to automatically move to the foundation.
