If you’re big fan of Solitaire, this is just the game for you. It’s quite challenging, so let’s get started with our Age of Solitaire cheats, tips and tricks strategy guide!

Continue your Win Streak!

After winning your first game, the game will let you know that if you continue to win games in succession you’ll earn bonus points towards your city. Try your best to make sure you don’t quit a game before it’s over or back yourself into an unwinnable situation. Remember to make liberal use of your power ups if you need to! It’s better to spend those than it is to lose a game.

And, even if you do end up stuck, you can always retry. Retrying will simply reset your current game but you keep your streak, BUT you forfeit any city points you may have gathered during that game. Opting instead for a New Game will reset your current game but cash in your current points.

Wait for those present advertisements!

If you find yourself in a bind with no way out, you might be able to get some help from an advertisement. Every now and then presents will fly down from the sky, and tapping them will let you watch an advertisement. In return you’ll get a random power up, and it could very well mean the difference between a lost game and a victory!

Try out the 1-card mode!

Tapping the button at the top left will start a new game in 1-card mode after an advertisement. In this mode, you draw one card at a time from the waste pile instead of the usual three. This is incredibly advantageous because you’re not forced to use the card on the top of the pile like you would under normal 3-card rules. We know that the game is a little much with advertisements, but if you want a fresh start with a big advantage on your side, consider 1-card mode!

Reveal the tableau cards!

Revealing the face-down tableau cards should be your first priority. Depending on how lucky you are, you might not get anywhere with just the cards from the waste pile. You’re probably missing cards that are hiding in the tableau, so you’ll need to reveal them as soon as you can. Try to work your way from left to right, because the more columns you can clear out the better. The rightmost columns have the most face-down cards, so it’s better to give yourself some more cards to work with by taking out the smaller columns.

Just tap to fit cards where they belong!

After a couple games just looking at your tableau can be headache inducing, and you’ll start to lose track of what cards have gone where. To save yourself some time, you can simply tap on a card. If there’s a place where it fits, the card will automatically slide over to it. Just be careful – this can be bad in certain situations, but that’s what the Undo power up is for!

That’s all for Age of Solitaire. If you have any of card tricks up your sleeve, let us know in the comments below!
