Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 Walkthrough
These ten games range in difficulty from Easy to Very Hard. When you hover over a game, you’ll see a preview of the game in the center box. This will show the layout of the game and the difficulty level. After you click to play, you will be shown a short how-to about the game. In this walkthrough, we will provide more detailed information, as well as additional tips and tricks to help you master the game.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 1
If you are new to Solitaire games, here is an explanation of some of the terminology you will find in the games’ how-tos.
- Stack: This is a pile of cards that are dealt face down. You are not allowed to see stack cards.
- Fan: Sometimes referred to as “cascade,” a fan is a stack of cards that was dealt face up. While you can see all the cards in a fan, you usually can only play the top card.
- Tableau: Piles used to move cards around to eventually free Foundation cards.
- Foundation: Piles of card, usually by suit, often built up from Ace to King. The goal of many games is to move all Tableau cards onto the Foundations.
- Reserve Spot: This is called a Cell in some games. This is a place where you can place a single card to aid in the movement of the Tableau cards.
Scorpion
Scorpion is rated “Very Hard” for a reason. There are no Foundation piles in this form of Solitaire. The goal is to end with four piles of cards in the Tableau, arranged by suit with king on bottom up to Ace on top.
The Tableau acts a little differently in Scorpion. You can move any card in a Tableau pile, along with all cards on top of it, and place it on a top card that matches suit and is one rank higher. The difficulty is in avoiding blocked piles.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 2
Tips & Tricks
- While only a King can be placed in an empty spot, don’t immediately fill a blank space. Kings can only be placed in a blank spot, so if you uncover a King from your Stack, it would be handy to have that free space to move the King and turn over another Stack card.
- Look for combinations of moves which will uncover a face down card.
Clover
In Clover, you want to build up the four Foundation cards, by suit, from Ace to King. Do this by arranging cards in the Tableau down in suit. You can only move the top card in a Tableau pile. The exception is that when you have a build-up more than one card by suit in order, you can move the pile.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 3
Tips & Tricks
- You are allowed only two reshuffles, so make sure you have exhausted all possibilities before reshuffling.
- Do not be in a hurry to clear a stack. Open spaces cannot be re-used.
Kings and Aces
Lady Luck is the primary factor in this game. The goal is to put all stock cards onto the Foundation cards, by suit, from Ace to King. You simply flip over one card at a time. You can build down on the row of Kings, which helps keep more cards available. Discarded cards go in a single discard pile, of which only the top card is available.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 4
Tips & Tricks
- You can only go through the deck once, so try to get as many cards on the board as possible by building downwards from the Kings.
- When in doubt, double click on a card. Sometimes you have so many different ranks of cards that it is easy to overlook something. If a card can be placed on a Foundation, double clicking will automatically send it there.
Towers
In this game that is rated Hard, you want to get all Tableau cards to the Foundations cards, building up by suit from Ace to King. The difficulty comes from only being able to move a single card at a time. The four Reserve spaces help, but two are already filled during the deal. The main thing with this game is to plan ahead several moves.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 5
Tips & Tricks
- Locate your Aces first and figure out a plan to get them free.
- Don’t empty a spot unless it is going onto a Foundation card or you have an available King you want to put there.
- Because you can only move a single card at a time, strategize before building long strings of same suit cards.
Tricky
This is another game that is rated Hard. Again, you want to move all cards to the Foundation by suit. You have a Tableau of 13 cards. The first thing to do is see if any Tableau cards can be moved to the Foundation, starting with the Ace and building up to King. When you have exhausted all those possibilities, find a pair of cards with the same rank and click on them. This sends those two cards to the Discard pile.
When you have an open space on your Tableau, click on either the Stock or Discard pile to fill them. Unless you know that there is a card you need that was recently placed in the Discard pile, you will want to click on the Stock pile. Of course, once you have gone through the Stock pile your only option is to fill spaces from the Discard pile.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 6
Tips & Tricks
- When removing pairs from the board, start with the highest ranking pairs.
- If you have low ranking cards near the top of your discard pile, it may help to fill Tableau spaces from the discard so you can keep the lower ranking cards available.
Sultan of Turkey
Sultan of Turkey is a game of Medium difficulty. All of your Foundation cards are already placed. On the Kings (except for the center King of Hearts) first place an Ace, then build up by suit to Queen. On the Ace of Hears, build up to Queen.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 7
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t rush to fill a Tableau spot. If the card on your discard pile is a high rank, wait until you have a low number on your discard pile and use that to fill an empty spot.
- Once a card is on the Tableau, it can only be moved to a Foundation pile. If you have an open Tableau spot and you draw a card that is only two or three ranks higher than a Foundation card of the same suit, it is usually a good idea to place it on the Tableau.
Osmosis
While only a Medium difficulty, this game is a little tricky to learn. Here, it does not matter what order you place cards onto the Foundation. However, you can only place a card on a Foundation pile if the suit directly above that suit already has that rank. For instance, in the game below you cannot place the Jack of Spades on the Spades Foundation pile. Even though the top Foundation has a Jack, the Foundation immediately above the Spades does not have a Jack.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 8
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure you put all the cards on the uppermost Foundation suit as possible.
- Before clicking on the Stock pile, when you place a card on the Foundation pile check to see if you can place the same rank card on the Foundations below it.
Ocean’s 11
This is a Hard game played with three decks. You have 12 Tableaus, 12 Foundation spots, and 11 Reserve spots. The goal is to get all Tableau cards onto the Foundations piles, by suit, in ascending order from Ace to King. You will build the Tableau in alternating colors in descending order.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 9
Tips & Tricks
- While it seems like 11 Reserve spaces is a lot, they can fill quickly. Use them strategically, and place them cards back on the Tableau when possible.
- Work to uncover the face down cards quickly.
Concentration
This is an Easy game. All cards are laid out, face down. Turn over two cards at a time, looking for a matching rank. You will win eventually, so the scoring is based on how many wrong matches you make in a row. This game is simple enough that you don’t need any tips or tricks here.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 10
40 Thieves
This game is rated Very Hard. The object is to build up the Foundation piles from Ace to King. The bottom card of each Tableau pile and the top card on the discard are available for play. You can move any card into a blank spot in the Tableau.
Super GameHouse Solitaire Volume 3 – 11
Tips & Tricks
- Because you can only move one card at a time, don’t rush to build up Tableau piles unless the bottom card is the start of the build-up.
- Create empty piles as soon as possible. These can be used as Reserve spots, helping to move multiple cards from one Tableau pile to another.
