Play Ace of Hearts Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Every card climbs onto a single foundation pile, suit doesn't matter, so any eight lands on any seven. Simple to learn, and it wins 95% of the time.

Thomas Warfield created Ace of Hearts Solitaire, and its big twist is right there in the name: every card in the deck ends up on one single foundation pile instead of four. Building ignores suit, so you can drop any eight on any seven, and once you complete a full run from ace to king you start over with a new ace. It's a simple, forgiving game, with a 95% chance of winning, and how you do comes down more to skill than luck.

It plays a lot like Queenie Solitaire and Yukon Solitaire, two other games that deal straight to the tableau with no redeals.

Ace of Hearts moves quickly with its wraparound foundation, while plain Solitaire asks for more patience.

How to play Ace of Hearts Solitaire

Layout:

1 foundation pile: Build up from the Ace of Hearts to the King, then start over with another ace, repeating until all 52 cards are on the pile.

7 tableau piles: Build down by suit on the 7 tableau piles. Cards in a group can be moved together regardless of their order. Fill an empty spot with a King or a group of cards led by a King. To start, one card is dealt face-up to the first pile, two cards to the second pile, and so on.

Stock: Click the stock to deal one card to each tableau pile. There are no redeals.

Foundation:

There is one foundation pile.

It must start with the ace of hearts.

Any card one rank higher than the pile's current top card can be added, regardless of suit, so the only card that fits on a seven is an eight of any suit. The foundation wraps, so you can play an ace on a king. Once a full sequence is complete, you can resume the pile with another ace.

The top card of the foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Tableau:

There are seven tableau piles, with one card in the first, two in the second, three in the third, and so on. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 10 of spades is a 9 of spades.

Any tableau card not covered by another card is free to move to the foundation or another tableau pile.

Only Kings may fill an empty tableau spot.

You can also move any face-up card to another tableau pile where it fits, bringing along everything stacked on top of it.

Stock:

The stock holds the leftover cards.

Click it, and one card is dealt to the top of each tableau pile.
