![]() ![]() And remember: once you finish your foundations, you win! Now, you can begin playing! As you can see, the game is all about arranging cards in order. In this version of Solitaire, 1 Card Solitaire, you draw cards from the stock one at a time. When the stock runs out, the waste is brought back into it in the same order. The discard pile next to it is called the waste, where unused stock cards are kept in order of draw. The stack in the upper left is called the stock, which is a pile you can draw from to reveal new cards and add them to the tableau if you’re able. Completing your foundations means you’ve won the game! You must have the appropriate ace down before building on your foundations. The objective of the game is to arrange the cards from the tableau into the four suits-clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts-in ascending order starting with the ace. When there’s an empty spot, only a king can fill it, so keep that in mind! Revealing all the cards on the tableau is an important strategy of the game. The face-down cards are revealed when there are no face-up cards in front of them. You may arrange cards in descending order on the tableau, switching between suits.įor example, here, you’d be able to move the red queen on top of the black king, but you wouldn’t be able to put the red 5 on top of the red 6. As you can see, there are seven stacks of cards, each with one more face-down card than the next. The cards on the board are called the tableau. In the settings, you can turn autoplay on and off, turn sound on and off, view your game statistics, and view the instructions of the game (just in case the following explanation isn’t enough). There are buttons to start a new game, access settings, and undo the last move. In the bottom left, there’s a timer, and your best time is on the bottom right. ![]() It’s a smidge confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is addicting.Once you hit play, the action begins! The game will automatically arrange your beginning setup. Math? Me no likey.)Īnyway, Tic is one of our favorite games and we hope you give it a try. (I always have HH keep score or use a calculator since adding and subtracting with negative numbers can get me all twisty. In fact, the person who “Tics” in each round actually gets -15 points added to their score. You want the lowest score possible, which is why it’s so important that you don’t get stuck with a lot of points at the end of each round. So from here you play a round with 7 cards, then 8 cards, then 9, all the way up to the point you’re trying to hold 13 cards and Kings are wild. They couldn’t put together any sets of 3. Zero points against Player B, but poor Player C is stuck with 53 points. So in this example, Player A “Tics” with a run: 8,9 and 10 of clubs and a set of 3’s (Remember, 6 is wild.) Player B is able to go out with 0 points: 3 Aces and a run with the 4 and 5 of hearts and a wild card. Remember, the object is to create a “set” of cards and to “Tic” before any of the other players. They can keep the new card or discard it, but they can’t have more than three cards. They can either pick up the card on top of the discard pile or draw from the deck. The person on the dealer’s left goes first. ![]() The dealer turns over the top card on the remainder of the combined deck and creates the “discard pile”. Jokers are wild and 3’s are wild (because you have 3 cards). For the first round, each player is dealt 3 cards. Start by taking 2 standard decks of cards (including the jokers) and shuffling them together. You “get rid” of your cards by grouping them into sets of 3 or more, all of the same card (ie three Queens) or having a straight flush. To be the first player each round to “Tic” and get rid of all of your cards, and to have the lowest number of points at the end of the game. ![]() Any more than that makes the game get really slow. You can play with 2 players (HH and I do it all the time) and up to 6 players. I think there are several different versions of Tic, but this is the way that we were taught to play. ![]()
