How to Play Aces Up Easy Solitaire

Layout

4 tableau columns with 1 card each. The remaining 48 cards form the stock pile.

Objective

Remove all cards except the four Aces.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. If two top cards on the tableau share the same suit, you can remove the one with the lower rank.
  2. For example, if 3♠ and K♠ are both on top of columns, remove the 3♠ (lower rank).

  4. Click the stock pile to deal one new card to each of the 4 columns.
  5. When a column is empty, you can move any top card into it.
  6. Continue dealing and removing until the stock is empty and no more moves remain.

Aces Up Easy Tips and Strategies

The relaxed rules give more removal options, but column management still matters. Use empty columns strategically to access buried cards. Even in easy mode, think about removal order — clearing space efficiently is the key to consistent wins.

Aces Up Easy Solitaire Rules

Aces Up Easy follows standard Aces Up rules with relaxed constraints. Four columns start with one card each. Remove lower-ranked cards when a higher card of the same suit is on top. Aces are always highest and cannot be removed. Empty columns accept any top card. Easier settings allow more flexible card comparisons.

Scoring System

Aces Up scores by removing lower-ranked cards of the same suit. The goal is to have only the four Aces remaining. A perfect game removes 48 cards. Each card successfully removed to the foundation earns points.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In Aces Up, the most common mistake is removing cards without considering what's underneath. Always check which cards will be exposed when you remove a top card. Keep Aces accessible — they're the only cards you want to keep in the tableau.

History of Aces Up Easy Solitaire

Aces Up, also known as Idiot's Delight or Firing Squad, is a quick-play patience game that has been popular since the early 20th century. Its irreverent nickname "Idiot's Delight" comes from the perception that it requires little thought — though strategic players significantly outperform random play. The game was commonly played by soldiers during both World Wars as a quick diversion. Its simple rules and fast pace made it one of the first solitaire games adapted for early handheld electronic devices.

Cognitive Benefits of Aces Up Easy
