Rules, controls and help for Golf Solitaire

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.

Give this approach a try

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
