Optima Solitaire Initial Screen Layout:

The view consists of seven columns (Central), with the first column containing one card, the second column two cards, the third column three cards, and so on. The top card of each column is face-up; the remainder of the cards are face-down. The 24 un-played cards are left face-down to form the stock (far right) above is an empty waste-pile ready to receive the cards as they are turned over. 4 open foundation piles are also present (far left) waiting to be populated with cards.

Object of Optima Solitaire:

The object of the game is to move the four aces, as they appear, to the foundations piles (far right), and build each up in suit from ace to king (A-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K).

How to Play Optima Solitaire:

Turn cards face-up from the stock one at a time onto the open waste-pile above (by tapping). The top card of the waste-pile may be played onto the 7 columns or the 4 foundation piles (by dragging and releasing). Likewise, the uppermost card of each column pile is available for play onto the foundation piles or another column pile (by dragging and releasing). Cards within the 7 piles may be built down high to low in number sequence and alternating color. A sequence (for instance Red 9, Black 8, Red 7, Black 6) of cards may be moved as a unit from one pile to another.

When a face-down column card card is exposed, turn it face-up. If a space is created in the colums (empty column), it may only be filled with a king. The stock may be recycled from the waste-pile when it becomes empty. The game ends when either all foundation piles are filled (in which case you ve won), or when no more moves are possible (or when the only possible move is to recycle the stock). In this case you ve lost. Don t worry, just open the settings and start a new game!!!
