## What is Rouge?

Rouge-Noire Royal Solitaire is a classic solitaire card game with a unique strategic twist. Your goal is to move all cards onto the eight foundation piles and complete as many successful rounds as possible.

Cards on the tableau must be built in alternating red and black suits, creating new tactical opportunities throughout every game.

The game begins with four tableau piles containing ten cards each. The top card of every pile is face up and ready to play. During the game, the eight foundation piles are built starting with the Aces and continuing in ascending order up to the Kings.

Two special King spaces are also available—one for a red King and one for a black King. Cards can be built downward on these piles using alternating colors. Empty King spaces can be reused whenever another suitable King becomes available.

Cards are drawn one by one from the stock. Any card that cannot be played immediately is placed onto the waste pile. Once the stock is exhausted, it may be recycled and played again as often as needed.

Every correctly played card earns points, while completed foundation piles reward valuable bonus points.

Your six best scores are permanently stored in the high score table.

Features:
• Classic Rouge-Noire Royal Solitaire gameplay
• Eight foundation piles and two King spaces
• Strategic alternating-color card building
• Score and bonus point system
• High score table for your six best games
• Simple controls and smooth gameplay

### 1/5 — Constant Crashes

*2023-11-25*

Keep having to reinstall.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2022-10-04*

Why does the app keep closing half way through a game.  When I start it again, I’m back to the start again.  I’m on a second round and have started the second round 3 times because it closes in the middle of the game.  I was just a couple of cards from completing round 2, it closed and when I opened the app I was back to the start.  I really enjoy this app when it works.
