Solitaire Guru is a classic solitaire card game. The goal of Solitaire Guru is to move all cards to the foundations in ascending order, beginning with the Ace and ending with the King. How to play: - Players can only move the cards that have been turned over from one pile to another as long as the card you’re moving to the new pile is one number lower than the existing face-up card and is the opposite color. After leaving, you can open the top cover card of the same pile. In addition, there are A cards that can be moved to the upper right corner as the basis of the collection pile, and collected into four piles according to the suit, from the small row to the big one. If a deck is empty, you can move the king (and all cards in its deck) to that deck. - Players can also move the cards to the foundation piles. Each foundation pile begins with the ace of each suit. As the ace is revealed, it is placed into a foundation pile. Additional cards are placed into the foundation piles as they become available in a suit and ascending order. - Players can play the cards from the remaining deck. After the game is set up, there will be twenty-four cards remaining. These cards are revealed one at a time, and you may play the revealed face-up card into either of the seven piles or one of the foundation piles.
