How to Play Juvenile Solitaire

Clear the board by pairing cards that total 14 (Ace=1, numbered cards face value, face cards 11–13). This two-deck game spreads 104 cards across 17 piles where only top cards are available.

Setup

1. One tableau pile holds 8 cards, all face up
2. Sixteen other tableau piles hold 6 cards each, all face up

How to play

• Identify pairs that sum to 14 (Ace + King, 2 + Queen, 3 + Jack, 4 + 10, 5 + 9, 6 + 8, 7 + 7)
• Drag one uncovered card onto its partner to remove the pair
• Only the top card of each pile is available to play
• Removed pairs go to the discard pile and do not create fillable spaces
• Plan your moves carefully—blocking important cards will stop your progress

How to win

Objective: Remove all cards by pairing cards that sum to 14.

Remove all 104 cards as matched pairs. You're stuck if only single, unpaired cards remain visible.

Tips

• Look ahead for blocking situations before removing pairs
• Focus on uncovering cards needed for future pairings
• Success depends on both card order and planning
