Rules, controls and help for Golf Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
