Aces and Kings

Matching and Shedding Card Games

Aces and Kings is a solitaire card game played with two decks of playing cards, created by Thomas Warfield and described as challenging and original. The aim is to build eight foundations, each either down from King to Ace or up from Ace to King, without regard to suit. It is a difficult game to win: good players are said to win about one game in ten. It is nevertheless popular, and has been implemented on many websites and in many software programs that offer solitaire games, which is how most players now meet it. Because it is a patience game for a single player, it needs no opponent, and the interest lies in planning how to release cards for the eight foundations.
