Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Crescent Solitaire is a twist on the traditional card game that asks you to work in both directions at once. Some foundations climb from Ace to King, others fall from King to Ace, always within one suit.
The result is a game that needs more planning than regular solitaire but rewards it nicely, since a good opening often decides the whole deal. It is filed with our card games and the mobile version keeps the same rules, so you can continue on the go.
How Crescent is played
The goal is to transfer every card from the tableau to the center piles. Four of those piles grow from Ace to King and the other four shrink from King to Ace, and each pile holds a single suit. Shuffle cards around the tableau to reach the ones you need next, and think a step ahead before each move.
Crescent strategy
- Look at both foundation directions before every move.
- Uncover buried Aces and Kings early.
- Avoid moves that hide a card you need soon.
