Play Big Forty Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

Big Forty is a fun Solitaire variation and is free to play online. A feature-rich full-screen card game with daily challenges, winnable deals, hints, and undo's.

A Forty Thieves one-deck version that permits stack movements. Personally, I believe it should have been called "Bad Forty." It only becomes a skill game if you are lucky enough to unlock a column, and even then, not much talent is necessary.

If you enjoy Big Forty, try original Solitaire, a classic solitaire card game.

How to play Big Forty Solitaire

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any ace in the foundation may be transferred to any vacant pile.

A card may be added to a foundation pile if it is one higher than the pile's previous top card and is of the same suit. As a result, the only card that could be played on an 8 of diamonds is a 9 of diamonds.

Cards cannot be taken from the foundation after they have been placed.

Tableau:

Splayed downhill, ten tableau piles of four cards each. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card may be added to a tableau pile if it is one lower and of the same suit as the original top card of the pile. As a result, the only card that could be played on a 7 of clubs is a 6 of clubs.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundation or any other tableau pile.

Any card can fill an empty slot in the tableau.

If all cards are of the same suit, groups of cards in succession from high to low may be moved from one tableau column to another.

Stock and waste:

There is one garbage pile and the remaining cards comprise the stock.

When you click on the stock, one card from the stock is dealt to the garbage. The stock may be passed through an unlimited number of times.

The top card of the trash can be played to the tableau or foundation.
