Aces Up: Retro Solitaire

Four aces. One rule: the lower card of a suit goes. A quick, quiet solitaire in 8-bit pixel art — no account, no sign-in, works offline.

Aces Up is the classic solitaire also known as Idiot's Delight, Firing Squad and Drivel — now in hand-drawn 8-bit pixel art.

HOW TO PLAY Four columns, one deck. When two top cards share a suit, throw away the lower one. Move cards into empty columns to dig out what's buried. Deal four new cards when you're stuck. Win by leaving only the four aces on the table.

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO WIN The rule fits in one sentence, but a win takes planning: which card to throw, which column to empty, when to deal.

THREE UNDOS, THREE REMOVALS Each game gives you three undos and three free removals for the moments luck turns against you. Use them wisely.
