About Cosy Patience

Cosy Patience is the classic one-deck card game of patience, played slowly and kindly. Seven columns of cards are dealt, and your goal is to build four piles, one for each suit, from ace up to king. This is the version often called Klondike solitaire.

There is no timer. Undo and hints are always there.

How to play

  1. Tap a face-up card to pick it up, then tap where it should go. Tap it again to let it go.
  2. In the columns, build downwards in alternating colours: a red 6 goes on a black 7. Only a king can go on an empty column.
  3. Aces start the four home piles at the top. Add each suit upwards: ace, 2, 3 and so on. Double-tap a card to send it home.
  4. Tap the pile at the top left to turn over more cards. When it runs out, tap it again to go through them once more.
  5. Uncover the face-down cards in the columns and bring every card home to win. Choose Draw one or Draw three.
