Sakhmet Solitaire Game Rules

  1. There are two different levels you can choose to play, which determine the number of cards you are dealt per draw, as well as how many times you can go through the deck. If you choose 1 card per draw, then you will go through each card in the deck one by one, but you will only be able to go through the deck once! On the other hand, if you choose 3 cards per draw, you will be dealt 3 cards each time you click on the Draw Pile, giving you access to the topmost of the 3 cards, but you will be able to go through the deck three times.
  2. The object of the game is to create four complete suit stacks in the Ace Piles that are on the top right section of the game board. The cards must be the same suit and they must be played in the following order:
    Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King.
  3. When the game is started, the cards are shuffled and dealt out into the following piles:
    Draw Pile: This pile contains all of the cards that are left over after the initial deal. It is located in the top left section of the game board. You will be able to draw cards from this pile (1 or 3, depending on which level you chose at the beginning) in an attempt to make a play. To draw cards from the Draw Pile, simply click on the pile and the cards will be dealt out to the Stack Pile.
    Stack Pile: This pile contains all of the cards that you have drawn from the Draw Pile. It is located to the right of the Draw Pile. To play the top card from your Stack Pile (which is the only card you can play from the Stack Pile), you click on the Stack Pile to select the card, and then click on the Column or Ace Pile that you want to play it on. Once you have gone through the entire deck, the cards in this pile will be placed back into the Draw Pile, unless of course, you have chosen 1 card per draw, in which case you would not have any draws left!
    Ace Piles: There are four Ace Piles, in which you must try to complete a full set of each suit (Neggs, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs). Also, remember that the cards must be played in order from the Ace (low) all the way up to the King. In other words, an open Ace Pile must be started with an Ace of one of the suits. That Ace must then be followed by the 2 of that same suit, then a 3, etc... Once you have played a card into one of the Ace Piles, you will not be able to remove it, so be sure that you will not need the card for anything else.
    Column Piles: There are seven Column Piles, which begin with the last card of each pile face up. To play a card on a Column Pile, the played card must be one lower and of the opposite colour of the lowest card in the pile. For instance, if you have a 5 of Diamonds as the last card of one of your Column Piles, you would need to either play a 4 of Spades or a 4 of Clubs onto that pile (one lower, and the opposite colour). If you have an open column (a column with no cards), you may only play a King into that column. You can move a single card or multiple cards from one column to another, as long as all of the cards are legally played. For instance, you have a red 5, black 4, red 3 in one of your columns. If you have a black 6 in another column, you can click on the red 5 (which also selects all of the cards below it), and then click on the column with the black 6. All of the cards will be transferred. To move a card from a Column Pile to an Ace Pile, simply click on the card you wish to play, and then click on the Ace Pile. If the play is legal, the card will be moved. Otherwise, you will get an alert message stating exactly what is wrong with the play you tried to make.
  4. You score points when you move a card into one of the Ace Piles. You also receive bonuses for completing each Ace Pile (completing the full suit set, Ace through King).
  5. The game is over when you have run out of draws and you have no more legal moves left, or when you have completed all four Ace Piles, in which case, you win! Once the game is over (or if you just want to end the current game), click on the "Collect Winnings" link located above the game board. This will end your current game, award the Neopoints you earned, and update your scores.
