Get a ninth tableau column in this Gypsy variant, but only Kings may fill an empty pile once one clears out.

Irmgard Solitaire is a Gypsy Solitaire variant with one extra tableau pile, nine instead of eight. The tradeoff is that an empty pile will only take a King, where Gypsy lets any card drop in, so those extra columns come with a catch.

If you enjoy Irmgard Solitaire, try Spider Solitaire or the classic Gypsy Solitaire.

How to play Irmgard Solitaire

Foundation:

There are eight foundation piles.

A card can be added to a foundation pile if it's one rank higher than the pile's top card and of the same suit. So the only card that can go on a 5 of diamonds is the 6 of diamonds. A pile holds at most 13 cards.

The top card of a foundation pile can move back into play, though only a King may drop into an empty tableau pile.

Tableau:

Nine tableau piles of three cards each. The top card of each pile is dealt face-up; the rest are dealt face-down.

A card can be added to a tableau pile if it's one rank lower than the pile's top card and of the opposite color. So the cards that can go on the 5 of diamonds are the 4 of spades or the 4 of clubs.

Any card not covered by another is free to be played onto the foundation or another tableau pile.

Only a King may fill an empty tableau pile.

A run in strict alternating colors can be moved together from one pile to another.

Stock:

The stock is made up of leftover cards.

Click the stock to deal one card to the top of each tableau pile. There are no redeals.
