Exciting solitaire variation awaits! Experience it now.
If you are looking for a new solitaire game to play, you should definitely check out Penguin Solitaire. Developed by British game scholar David Parlett, this game requires more than just luck, as it involves careful planning and strategy.
The objective of the game is to move all cards to the four foundations, building up by suit and starting with the cards of the same rank as the first card dealt to the leftmost tableau pile, which is referred to as the "beak." To start the game, each of the seven tableau piles at the top of the screen will be dealt seven face-up cards. The first card dealt to the leftmost tableau pile becomes the beak, and the other three cards of the same rank will be dealt to the vertically arranged foundations at the right, leaving one foundation empty.
The game also features seven empty reserve cells located at the bottom of the screen. As you progress through the game, you will need to move the beak to the empty foundation, and the foundations are to be built up by suit starting with the beak and wrapping from K to A if necessary. Meanwhile, cards in the tableau piles are to be built down by suit, wrapping from A to K if necessary.
Each time you can move a card or a group of cards built down by suit to another tableau pile. Each empty reserve cell can hold one card, and cards in the reserve cells can be moved to a tableau pile or a foundation. When a tableau pile becomes empty, only a card of the rank immediately below the beak or a group of cards starting with that rank can be moved to the empty tableau pile.
Overall, Penguin Solitaire is a great solitaire game that provides a fun and challenging experience that requires careful planning and strategy. With the use of reserve cells and a focus on freeing the beak as soon as possible, players can improve their scores and rise to the top of the leaderboard.
