Play Millie Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Same two decks and eight columns as Miss Milligan, minus its reserve cell: find a home for every card before you tap the stock.

Millie Solitaire is the streamlined member of the Miss Milligan family. It keeps the two decks, the eight columns, and the row-by-row deal that give Miss Milligan its rhythm, but strips away the reserve waiting-cell that the parent game leans on. What is left is a leaner, more honest test: you build down by alternating color, and there is nowhere to hide a card, so every deal from the stock has to be absorbed straight into the tableau.

That missing reserve is the whole personality of the game. In Miss Milligan you can lift an awkward run and park it; in Millie you must find a real home for everything before you dare tap the stock again. Because each tap deals a fresh card onto all eight columns at once, a poorly prepared board can bury the cards you need, while a tidy one keeps its options open.

Both decks build up to eight ace-high foundations. With a single pass through the stock and no reserve to fall back on, the winnable deals reward patience and careful ordering far more than luck.

How to play Millie Solitaire

Layout:

8 foundation piles: Build up in the same suit from Ace to King. Two full decks fill all eight.

8 tableau piles: Build down by alternating color. A single card can always move, and any run already in proper alternating-color order can move together as a unit. Empty columns may be filled by any card or run.

Stock: Each tap deals one card face-up onto every tableau pile. There is only one pass and no waste pile.

Foundation:

There are eight foundation piles, all starting empty, one for each suit across the two decks.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 7 of clubs is an 8 of clubs. Each pile runs from Ace up to King.

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

Tableau:

Eight tableau piles are dealt one face-up card each to begin. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the opposite color of the pile's current top card, so the only cards that fit on an 8 of spades are the 7 of hearts and 7 of diamonds. A run already in descending alternating-color order may be moved as a unit.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered can be played to the foundation or to another tableau pile. Any card or run may be placed into an empty column.

Stock and waste:

There is no waste pile. The remaining ninety-six cards make up the stock.

When you click the stock, one card is dealt face-up onto each of the eight tableau piles at the same time. You get only a single pass through the stock, so deal only when the board is ready to take the cards.
