Learn the rules of Crescent Solitaire

Objective

Two decks. All eight foundations come pre-seeded — four with Aces (building up) and four with Kings (building down). Fill every foundation in the same suit to win.

The Layout

  • Top row — 8 foundations seeded at the deal
  • Below — 16 tableau piles arranged 2 rows × 8 columns, each with 6 face-up cards
  • No stock, no waste — every card is visible from the start

Moving Cards

  • Tableau builds same-suit, either direction (up or down by one rank)
  • A pile with 2+ cards is locked to its established direction
  • A pile that empties resets — any card may seed it again
  • Send tableau tops to a matching foundation when ranks line up

Reshuffle

  • Three reshuffles allowed per game
  • Each reshuffle rotates the bottom three cards of every pile to its top
  • Direction locks reset because pile contents change

Tips & Strategy

  • Watch for tableau builds that can be redirected after an empty
  • Save reshuffles for when truly stuck — they are limited
  • Foundations win the game; tableau is scaffolding
