About Refuge Solitaire
It is a classic single-player card game played over a calm Alpine mountain backdrop.
Each foundation pile begins with an Ace and grows upward one card at a time, and you win once those stacks are complete. On the board itself the runs go the other way, from high to low, and every run has to stay in a single suit. That rule is what separates it from looser kinds of solitaire.

The order cards turn up is out of your hands, so part of every game is luck. The rest is deciding which card to move and when, since a careless move can bury the card you need next. Counting ranks up on the foundations and down on the board gives it a light math side as well.
Quick summary
- You start each foundation pile with an Ace.
- On the board you stack cards in descending order, keeping each run in one suit.
- You keep feeding cards up to the foundations in rising order.

Tips & tricks
