Why play Carpet?
Carpet is a light but tactical foundation game where hole-filling determines whether good cards stay accessible.
New variant
Carpet Solitaire
The four Aces are placed on the foundations to start. Twenty cards are dealt face-up in a 5×4 carpet grid; the remaining 28 form the stock. Move carpet cards to the foundations (built up by suit from Ace to King) and fill the empty holes from the waste pile. Deal one card at a time from the stock — the stock cannot be reused. Clear the entire carpet to win.

Rules overview
With Aces already placed, you build up by suit from the carpet and the waste while using holes as temporary access points that must be refilled correctly.
Strategy tips
- Use holes to improve near-term foundation access, not just to move any waste card.
- Watch which suit ranks are missing from the carpet before drawing again.
- Single-pass stock pressure makes careless waste use expensive.
