About this game
Paganini Solitaire uses a sequence that surprises most players: inside a row, the Ace is followed by the 6, then 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King of the same suit. Cards are laid out in rows, and a card may only move into an empty space when it continues the sequence of the card on its left in the same suit. Three shuffles are available, so when the board locks up you can reorder the remaining cards and try again.
How to Play
- Deal the cards out into rows
- Move a card into an empty space only if it is the same suit and comes right after the card on its left
- Remember that the Ace is followed by the 6, not the 2
- Use one of your three shuffles when no move is available
- Order every row to win
Controls

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Paganini Solitaire free?
Yes, it runs in your browser for free with no download.
What makes the rules different?
Within a row the Ace is followed by the 6, so the usual 2 to 5 sequence does not apply.
What do the shuffles do?
You get three shuffles. Each one reorders the cards still on the board so you can try a new arrangement.
