If you’re bored of easy solitaire games, take on this hard card game, test your skills and triumph in a themed world based on the Arabian Nights!

Forty Thieves Solitaire is a unique and rare game with similarities to the popular Freecell. Your goal is to move all the cards to the 8 foundation piles from Ace to King.

Naturally, the game has a well-made tutorial to teach you anything you might need to know. 40 THIEVES FEATURES: * Simple rules, quick tutorial (which you won't even need if you like Freecell!) * Multiple rounds and multiple ways to score with bonuses. * Classic theme inspired by the folk tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. * Beautifully animated, accompanied by a tailor-made soundscape. * Extensive tutorial and instructions. * Two levels of difficulty, both of them require you to be patient! If you find other games too easy, then you’ll love Forty Thieves Solitaire Gold!
