How to Play Kings in the Corners Solitaire with Flair

Ready to corner the fun with Kings in the Corners Solitaire? This solo card game uses a standard deck of 52 and flips the usual solitaire script with a cross-shaped setup. You start by placing four empty foundation spots in a plus-sign pattern, north, south, east, and west, around a central draw pile, with four tableau piles (one card each, face-up) in the diagonal spots: northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest. The rest of the deck becomes your stock pile, flipped one card at a time. Your goal is to build all four foundations downward from King to Ace, any suit, starting with Kings as they pop up.

Here’s how it flows: draw a card from the stock and play it if you can. Kings go straight to an empty foundation spot to kick things off, then you stack cards on them in descending order, like a Queen on a King, no suit rules here. Tableau cards can move to foundations too, or you can stack them down in alternating colors, like a red 7 on a black 8, to free up space. Empty a tableau pile? Fill it with a new card from the stock. It’s a fast, quirky game that’s all about quick decisions, perfect for a light solo break. Can you trap all four Kings and finish the stacks?
