What is CityMix Solitaire

CityMix Solitaire brings a colorful urban twist to the timeless card-sorting puzzle. Arrange your cards with precision to uncover a delightful cityscape of the deck.

How to Play

Arrange cards in descending order with alternating colors across the seven tableau columns, then move completed sequences to the four foundation piles in ascending order by suit. Use the draw pile and available moves to keep the game flowing toward victory.

Tips for Playing

Prioritize flipping face-down cards in the tableau early to reveal new cards and unlock more moves.
Build sequences on empty tableau spaces with any available king to maximize your options.
Watch the foundation piles carefully—don't rush to move cards there if they’re still useful for building down.
Keep an eye on card distribution and plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with trapped cards.
If you’re unsure, undo a move to test a different strategy before committing.
