Can You Handle Twice the Number of Cards?

Solitaire is a game you just can’t go wrong with — it’s great at keeping your brain healthy and also provides enough entertainment to relieve boredom whenever you need. Yet playing the same game over and over again does eventually get tiring, and that’s completely natural. It’s simply an indication that you should move on to something that presents a little bit of novelty, and Turn-One (Double) Face-Up Solitaire does just that!

The game provides a longer playtime compared to its single-deck counterparts while simplifying the gameplay by turning all the cards face-up in the Tableau. Yes, this means that you no longer have to take deep breaths before revealing a hidden card — everything’s already laid bare in front of you!

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity that the face-up rule brings to the game — you still have 104 cards to grapple with, and that’s no simple feat!

Are you ready to redefine your Solitaire experience?

Playing Turn-One (Double) Face-Up Solitaire — The Layout

Turn-One (Double) Face-Up Solitaire inherits its layout from the classic Solitaire games, so you’re definitely not in foreign territory. You can think of this game as an extended version of the original, as it features nine Tableau columns instead of seven to accommodate cards from the extra deck. The other deviation from the original version is that all 45 cards in the Tableau are face-up, revealing their suits and ranks.

Despite these similarities, however, it’s still a different game, and a good look at its layout will definitely help you understand it better.
