How to Play Diplomat Solitaire and Come Out on Top

Ready to dive into Diplomat Solitaire? This solo card game uses two decks, that’s 104 cards, and it’s a neat mix of skill and chill vibes. You start by dealing eight tableau piles, each with four cards face-up, spread out like two wings of four piles each. The leftover 72 cards sit in a stock pile, waiting for their turn. Your big goal is to build eight foundation piles, starting with Aces and stacking up to Kings, all in the same suit.

Here’s how it rolls: you can only move the top card from each tableau pile, either to a foundation if it’s next in line, or to another tableau pile if it’s one rank lower, no suit rules there, like a 9 on a 10. Draw one card at a time from the stock to a waste pile, and play it if you can, but you only get one pass through the deck. Empty a tableau spot? Toss any card in there to keep the flow going. It’s a smooth, strategic ride that’s perfect for unwinding or flexing your brain a bit. Think you can stack all eight foundations and call it a win?
