How to play Crown Solitaire

Corona Solitaire is a fun solitaire game that requires skill, planning, and patience. There are decisions to be made throughout the game, but you may not know if the game can be finished down to the last card. It’s quite an obscure solitaire game, but those who play it find it immensely fun… in fact, it’s one of my personal favourites, and I just can’t stop playing it!

The goal is to build 8 ascending suit sequences on the foundation stacks.

The opening draw is made up of 2 decks and consists of:

  • 8 foundation piles, all empty,
  • 12 maneuver piles, each with 3 face-up cards, and
  • a claw, with 68 cards face down.

Cards can be moved in the maneuver zone if they are of the same suit and 1 less in

range. So a 7 of Diamonds can be played against an 8 of Diamonds, and a Queen of

Spades can be played in a king of spades. Kings cannot be moved in the

zone in any maneuver.

When a maneuver stack becomes empty, a card is automatically drawn from the top.

from the waste pile. If the waste pile is empty, a card is automatically drawn from the

heel.

Clicking on the claw will move a single card to the waste pile. You can only ride a bike

through the heel once.

Only a single card can be moved at any time, and stacks cannot be moved as a

whole.

Although the rules seem simple, the game itself is quite complex and often requires

considerable planning. In particular, deciding when exactly to clean up a stack can have

a big impact on the game, because it changes the cards you currently have in

play. Often it’s worth delaying the removal of a stack, so that you get a more valuable card.

below it is a 7 of Diamonds. Reversals can make the bottom card difficult to

exposing, and not paying attention to them can make games unsolvable. He

it is often worth trying to move investments where possible, so in the example above,

It would be beneficial to move the 7 of Diamonds to an 8 of Diamonds, to get

access to the 2, instead of putting a 6 of Diamonds on the 7.
