Addiction Solitaire game board setup - 4 rows of 13 cards with 4 gaps.

Objective

In Addiction Solitaire, arrange all 48 cards into four rows in the same suit, ordered from 2 to King from left to right. The last space in each row remains empty.

Setup

At the start:

  • All 52 cards are dealt face-up into 4 rows of 13 cards each.
  • The 4 Aces are then removed from the layout and discarded, leaving 4 empty spaces (gaps).
  • These gaps are used to rearrange the remaining 48 cards during gameplay.

Rules

  • A gap can be filled with the card of the same suit and one rank higher than the card to its left (e.g., 8♥️, 9♥️, 10♥️ — next must be J♥️).
  • No card can be placed in a gap that follows a King or another gap.
  • Only 2s can be placed in the first column.
  • When out of moves, you may shuffle all cards not already in correct sequence. This can be done up to three times per game.
