How to Play

The details of How to Play, gathered for a quieter read. Read the sections in the order that helps you most.

THE NIGHT TABLE
01 · 02 · 04

Start with a difficulty

Keep these details in mind. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls. Changing difficulty opens that mode's own saved game when local saving is enabled. Choose Play Spider for one suit, 2 Suits for spades and hearts, or 4 Suits for all four suits.

Tableau and stock

Keep these details in mind. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up. Six cards are dealt to each of the first four columns and five to each remaining column. The tableau begins with 54 cards in ten columns. The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten.

Make a single-card move

The key details are straightforward. An empty column accepts any exposed card, including a King or Ace. A nine can move onto a ten, and a Jack can move onto a Queen. Suit does not restrict a single card's destination when the ranks fit. Choose an exposed card and place it on an exposed card one rank higher.

Select a legal sequence

A shorter valid segment at the bottom may still be moved separately. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit. Cards move together only when they are face up, in one suit and descending by single ranks. Select the highest card of the group you want to move.

Expose a hidden card

The key details are straightforward. Moving every face-up card away from a hidden card reveals that hidden card automatically. You do not need a separate flip action. Undoing the move restores the previous face-down state when appropriate. The newly revealed card may provide a useful destination or a new group to build.

A temporary workspace

On this website, the following points apply. Empty columns are useful for separating mixed suits and making hidden cards accessible. A King cannot land on another card, so it needs an empty destination. Any movable sequence can be placed into an empty column. Fill all empty columns before dealing a new row from the stock.

Deal another row

Here is what to know. A deal is refused if any column is empty. Activate the stock button to add one face-up card to every column. A successful stock deal counts as one move in this game's counter. Undo can restore the tableau and stock to their state before that deal.

Clear King through Ace

Collect eight qualifying sequences to win. Arrange thirteen face-up cards of one suit from King down to Ace at the bottom of a column. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order.

Tap, drag or use a keyboard

Keep these details in mind. The menu, stock and game controls also work with normal keyboard focus. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly. Keyboard users can focus face-up cards and activate them with Enter or Space. Left and right arrow keys move focus between columns, and Escape clears a selection.

Continue or restart

Keep these details in mind. Saving is local to this browser and difficulty, and can be disabled in Privacy & Cookie Settings. Undo reverses recent successful actions while the stored undo history is available. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won. Replay starts the current shuffle again, while New game creates a fresh shuffle.
