Full Rules of Solitaire Cascade
Objective
The goal of Solitaire Cascade is to move all the cards to the foundation piles, organized by suit in ascending order from Ace to King.
Setup
The game starts with a 4x5 grid filled with cards and a deck of 52 cards without jokers. Cards fall into place from the top, creating a cascading effect. The foundation piles are empty at the start.
Card Movement
Within the tableau, you can move cards to organize them. You must stack cards in descending order and alternating colors (for example, a red 7 can be placed on a black 8). Move cards from the tableau to the foundation piles. Cards must be placed in ascending order and matching suits, starting with the Ace and building up to the King. Use the New Line button to add a new line of cards at the top. This will push the bottom row out of the grid, which can help create new opportunities for moves.
Stacking Rules
You can stack cards up to 3 layers deep within each cell of the grid.
Scoring
You start with a score of 0 points. Points are earned by making strategic moves:
- Moving a card within the tableau: +5 points.
- Moving a card from the tableau to a foundation: +10 points.
- Turning over a face-down card in the tableau: +5 points.
- Moving a card from the new line to the tableau or foundation: +10 points.
If you cycle through all available lines and need to restart, a -100 points penalty is applied. Bonus points are awarded for remaining time (+2 points per second) and remaining moves (+5 points per move).
Winning the Game
To win, you need to move all the cards to the foundation piles in the correct order, starting from Ace to King for each suit.
Tips for New Players
Plan your moves ahead to avoid getting stuck. Use new lines strategically to help reposition cards. Focus on moves that give the most points to boost your score.
