Card game

Baroness Solitaire

Five tableau columns hold the cards dealt from a shuffled 52-card deck. Remove pairs whose ranks sum to 13 (Queen + Ace, Jack + 2, 10 + 3, 9 + 4, 8 + 5, 7 + 6) or remove a lone King. When you run out of plays, deal a fresh row of five. The last two cards in hand become face-up grace cards at the side — available for pairing just like the tableau tops. Clear every card to win.

Why Baroness works well online

Baroness is easy to learn, quick to restart, and built around simple number pairing. That makes it a strong contrast to longer builder games like Klondike or Canfield.

Rules overview

Remove visible pairs that total 13, discard Kings on their own, and deal fresh rows until every card is cleared or no useful pairings remain.

Strategy tips

  • Before dealing a new row, check whether a delayed pair might uncover a better chain of removals.
  • Grace cards can rescue awkward ranks, so keep future pair values in mind as the stock thins.
  • Fast play is tempting, but Baroness rewards counting available complements carefully.
