Object of the game: To build up four columns in suit ending in the King card. With Flower Garden solitaire only one card can be moved at a time. This version of solitaire relies heavily on skill.
When you first begin Flower Garden solitaire your screen may look like this:
There are a few other versions that may look different but the game is still played the same.
First you will need to find and retrieve all of your Aces. As some of the Aces are behind some of the other cards they may be hard to get to since you can only move one card at a time. When you move a suit you do not need to worry about the colors, regardless of suit a card can be placed on any suited card. You may not move a whole column at any time throughout this game, regardless of if you have it built in the correct order.
The game is called Flower Garden because the cards are meant to look like a bouquet. Once you have your Aces in the foundations you can start to build the rest of your suited cards. Only the top card in the columns can be moved so patience is needed when you play this game. You can also pull suits from the column of cards underneath the foundations.
Continue to move the suits up in to the columns, double clicking on the card will send the suit you choose up to one of the columns. Once a foundation has been cleared you can move an available King card. Once you move a King to an empty column you can then build that foundation and also move cards up to the columns in order to win your game.

The objective is to move all the cards to their foundations built up rank and suit from Ace to King.
When you begin your screen may look like this. You want to start building foundations in order of suit and rank but you can only move one card at a time. This game requires skill and patience. It is not easily won.
When moving a suited card you can only move it the same suited card. You must move the same colored suited card as well. If you can no longer make any plays you can re-deal your cards into sets of 4. You will find that you will use the stock to reshuffle your cards very often. You can reshuffle the cards by clicking on the stack in the stop left corner.
When you find a card that you are able to move you may find that there is a card underneath that can be used BUT cannot be moved due to you can only move one card at a time. For instance, you could have 3 movable cards: a 3, 4 and 5 but when you move the 3 you find a 6 card that you can no longer use since you have moved your cards to cover the 5 suit. At that point you can try and continue to play if you have some other cards to move or you will have to re-shuffle your cards again.
Continue to uncover the cards and you will soon be able to move suited cards up to their foundations.
You will soon build your foundations and there will be empty spaces within your columns. You may not place cards there which makes the game a little bit harder to play but that is where the skill comes in to play.
At this point you have pretty much aced the game. Continue to uncover your cards and before you know it you have won!

The objective is to move all your suited cards to the right starting from Ace and ending with King.
In this version of solitaire you can place the same color card on top of another. For example you may place a red Queen on top of a red King. You may only move one card at a time rather than moving a column as you would in traditional solitaire. (Use caution when choosing which cards to move as after you have moved you are unable to move that card back.)
When you start the screen will look like this:
Try and find all your Aces and move them to the right hand columns. As you come upon cards that you can move to their respective foundations on the right, you can simply click that card and it will automatically be moved to the correct pile on the right hand side.
Remember you can move a black suited card to another black suited card as same color suited cards are not an issue with this game. Keep in mind that you can only move one card at a time rather than a column of cards. Take time to look at your deck. You want to make sure any card you move to get to an Ace or a card you need will not end the game for you. If there is an empty column you are unable to move any cards there, such as in the original solitaire game.
Even though you have all your Aces moved and cards are available to move you still may be stuck:
If you run out of suits to move you may have to start over again until you can get all the cards moved. Try and build up each column as much as possible using the King card. As you dwindle down your cards you will be able to get through the game quicker and all the moves will become easier. This game takes some skill and a lot of patience. Congratulations, you’ve won!
