## What is Aces Up?

Aces Up is the classic solitaire also known as Idiot's Delight, Firing Squad and Drivel — now in hand-drawn 8-bit pixel art.

HOW TO PLAY
Four columns, one deck. When two top cards share a suit, throw away the lower one. Move cards into empty columns to dig out what's buried. Deal four new cards when you're stuck. Win by leaving only the four aces on the table.

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO WIN
The rule fits in one sentence, but a win takes planning: which card to throw, which column to empty, when to deal.

THREE UNDOS, THREE REMOVALS
Each game gives you three undos and three free removals for the moments luck turns against you. Use them wisely.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Small deck for quicker games, or the full 52 cards
• Two card face styles
• Blue or red card backs
• Tap-to-drop or drag-and-drop
• Retro sound effects and haptics, each with its own switch

PLAY ANYWHERE
• No account, no sign-in
• Works offline
• Your game is saved — pick it up where you left off
• No ads during play — only between games, or a short video you choose to watch for an extra move

Quick enough for a coffee break, deep enough to keep you coming back.
