Why Crescent stands out

Crescent is a strong step up from basic solitaire because it asks you to manage two directions of foundation building at once while keeping same-suit tableau movement flexible enough to recover from blocks.

Rules at a glance

  • Sixteen tableau piles form the crescent around eight central foundations.
  • Tableau piles build up or down by suit and may wrap between King and Ace.
  • Four foundations build upward from Aces and four build downward from Kings.
  • You may use up to three redeals, rotating the bottom card of each pile to the top.

Strategy notes

  • Preserve redeals until they unlock several piles, not just one hopeful move.
  • Watch both upward and downward foundation tracks before committing a key card.
  • Use wraparound moves to reorganize blocked suits instead of forcing early foundation plays.
