How to play

A quick patience with four piles (in Swedish Idioten): throw away the lower cards of each suit until only the four aces are left.

  • Deal four cards face up, one on each pile.
  • When two or more piles show a card of the same suit, you may throw away the lower ones. The ace is highest.
  • When a pile is empty, you may move the top card of another pile there.
  • When you can do nothing more, deal four new cards, one on each pile.
  • The game is won when only the four aces are left.

The table

  • The deck: Tap to deal four new cards, one on each pile. Do it when nothing else works.
  • Thrown away: The cards you throw away end up here. The number shows how many.
  • Empty pile: You may move the top card of another pile here.

Good to know

Tap the card
Tap a card and it is thrown away if it can be, else moved to an empty pile.

Undo
You can undo your moves since the last deal. A deal cannot be undone, as it shows new cards.

Hard to win
Aces Up comes out about one time in ten with good play. Think about which card you move to an empty pile.

Leaderboard
