How to Play Cassim Solitaire

A flexible tableau-building game where you can recycle through the stock as many times as needed, making it more forgiving than traditional Klondike. The goal: Move all 52 cards to the foundations, building each suit from Ace to King.

Setup

1. Four foundations start empty (one per suit)
2. Seven tableau piles hold 4 cards each face up
3. The remaining cards form the stock

How to play

• Click the stock to deal cards one at a time to the waste pile
• Build tableau piles down in suit: a 5♠ goes on a 6♠
• Move sequences of suited cards together if each card is one rank lower than the card covering it
• Matching cards automatically move to the foundations once no other move is available for them; you can configure this in Settings
• Empty tableau piles accept any card to help maneuver through tighter sequences
• When the stock runs out, click the empty stock to turn the waste back over and continue playing with unlimited redeals

How to win

Objective: Move all 52 cards to the foundations, building each suit from Ace to King.

You win when all four foundations are complete with all 13 cards in each suit. You're stuck when no legal moves remain even after cycling the waste back into the stock.

Tips

• All tableau cards are dealt face up, so use the unlimited redeals to work through stock combinations rather than to reveal hidden cards
• Build long running sequences on the tableau to free up space
• Plan your moves to keep tableau piles flexible for the cards you'll see later
