Golf Solitaire: how a round works

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. A clear plan starts with the current position. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
