Getting started with 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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Keep the active rule in mind. 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.
