Why play Addition?

Addition is a layout-repair solitaire game where the puzzle comes from restoring ordered suit rows after the Aces are removed.

Rules overview

Each row must end up building from 2 through King in suit, using open gaps and up to three redeals to reorganize misplaced cards.

Strategy tips

  • Use early gaps to improve suit order, not just the nearest legal move.
  • Think about whole rows rather than single placements.
  • Save redeals for positions where multiple rows improve at once.
