About Pocket Solitaire
It follows the rules of classic solitaire, with a clock added on top.
Your goal is to clear the tableau by moving every card onto the foundation piles. Each pile holds one suit and has to go up in order, so a Five of hearts only fits on the Four of hearts. You also need to watch your turns, because the game counts them while you work.

Some cards in the tableau start face down. You only find out what they are once the cards on top of them are moved away, which is why it matters which column you work on first.
The time limit changes how this card game feels. You cannot sit and think forever, so you have to plan a few moves ahead while the clock keeps running.
Key features
- You sort cards into four foundation piles, one for each suit.
- Every pile has to run from Ace up to King.
- A timer means you have to clear the tableau quickly.
- Some tableau cards are hidden until you uncover them.
- It is a solitaire take on a classic board and table game you can finish in one short sitting.
Tips & tricks
- Uncover face down cards early so you know what you have to work with.
- Get Aces onto the foundations as soon as they show up, since every pile has to start with one.
- Plan a couple of moves before you drag, so you do not waste turns or time.
