Black Hole Solitaire Solitaire
Black Hole Solitaire deals all 52 cards face-up: 17 fans of three cards around a single central foundation (the "black hole") that starts with the Ace of Spades. Build the black hole by playing any exposed card that is one rank higher or lower than the current top card, regardless of suit. Win by sucking all 51 remaining cards into the black hole. With full information visible, it's a pure planning puzzle.
Black Hole Solitaire Tips
Scan all 17 fans before each move — the obvious play isn't always the best one. Look for chains that extend multiple moves. Since only the top card of each fan is playable, plan sequences that expose useful cards beneath. Avoid moves that block critical cards in other fans.
