About Aces and Kings Solitaire

Aces and Kings is a demanding two-deck solitaire. Eight foundations sit in the middle: four build upward from ace to king, and four build downward from king to ace, regardless of suit. Cards come from tableau piles and two reserve stacks, and only the top of each is available.

The double direction is what makes it hard. A card that would be perfect on an ascending foundation is often the one you need to keep for a descending one, so almost every move is a decision rather than an obvious play.

Aces and Kings Solitaire tips

  • Balance the two directions. Racing one set of foundations strands the cards the other needs.
  • Empty a tableau pile when you can — free space is the scarcest resource here.
  • Hold middle-rank cards; they're the ones both directions compete for.
  • Undo freely while learning; the game is hard enough without punishing exploration.

Aces and Kings Solitaire — questions

How do you play Aces and Kings Solitaire?

Two decks, eight foundations: four built upward from aces and four downward from kings, ignoring suit. Cards come from the tableau and two reserve piles, top card only, and you win by clearing all 104.

Is it harder than Klondike?

Considerably. Building in both directions at once means most cards have two possible destinations and only one right one.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — tap a card and then its destination. Nothing to install.
