WHY CAN'T I SEE THE GAME?

This game uses HTML5 technology. Your browser does not support HTML5, likely because it is out of date.


HOW CAN I PLAY?

You can do ONE of these things:
  • Recommended: Install and use the latest version of Firefox or Google Chrome. The games play best in these browsers.
  • OK: If you are using Internet Explorer, update your browser to the most recent version (version 9 or 10.) Internet Explorer 9 requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. Internet Explorer 10 Requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.
  • Also OK: Another option for Internet Explorer is to use the Google Chrome Frame Plug-In. This option adds HTML5 technology to Internet Explorer for websites that require it. Installation is fast and easy. You must close and restart all browser windows after installation.
  • Not Recommended: You may also use the old Java versions of the games by clicking the link above this game space. Support is limited. You should also be aware that Java has security issues. While the games at SoliTaire! Network are safe, visiting a malicious site while Java is enabled in your browser can result in malicious aplications being installed.

Fortress SoliTaire! Rules:

Goal

Move all cards to the four Foundation piles from Ace to King in the same suit.

The Deal

Using one deck, all cards are dealt face up to the layout. There are 10 Columns. The Columns on each end are dealt 6 cards each. The center eight Columns are dealt 5 cards each.

Foundations

Foundations are built UP and IN SUIT starting with an Ace and ending with a King. For example, a 2 of Clubs can be placed on an Ace of Clubs, then a 3 of Clubs, then a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, up to the K of Clubs. The same holds true for the other suits.

Columns

Columns are built UP OR DOWN in ANY SUIT. For example, a 6 may be placed on any 7 or any 5.

The topmost card in any Column is available for movement to either another Column or a Foundation.

Empty Columns may be filled with Kings.
