Solitaire: Card Master

Solitaire: Card Master is straight Klondike, which means the rules argue with you in the familiar way: red on black, black on red, always descending, and four foundations that only open once an Ace turns up. Nothing here is reinvented. What the game adds is scaffolding around the deal - a move counter, a score, and a clock for anyone who treats a hand as a race rather than a quiet puzzle.

The auto-complete button is the small mercy. Once every card is face up and the outcome is already decided, one tap runs the ending for you instead of making you drag fifty cards to the foundations by hand.

How to play

Tap or drag a card onto another to build the tableau down in alternating colours, red on black and black on red. Aces go up to the foundations, and each foundation builds up by suit all the way to the King. When you run out of moves, tap the stock to turn new cards. Once everything is face up and the hand is decided, tap auto-complete and the remaining cards fly home.

Controls

Tap or drag cards with the mouse or your finger to move them between columns and up to the foundations. Tap the stock pile to draw new cards, and tap the auto-complete button to finish a hand that is already solved.
