Card game
Nine cards are laid face-up in a 3×3 grid. Remove pairs of pip cards (Ace through 10) whose ranks sum to 11, or remove a Jack, Queen, and King together as a trio. Deal from the stock to fill empty slots after each removal. Clear all 52 cards to win — the odds are about 1 in 10, so choose wisely!
Click a card to select it, then click its pair — or select J + Q + K to remove them.

Elevens Solitaire is a grid-based pairing game where pairs of pip cards (Ace through Ten) that total exactly 11 are removed together, and face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are removed as a set of three. The game uses a 3×3 grid of nine face-up cards drawn from the stock; removed cards are immediately replaced from the stock, keeping the grid full until the stock is exhausted. Win by clearing all 52 cards.
Nine cards are dealt face-up in a 3×3 grid. All nine are available simultaneously — there is no blocking. Legal removals:
After each removal, refill the vacated spots from the stock. When no legal pair or trio exists and the stock is empty, the game ends. Win when all 52 cards have been removed.
Pyramid pairs to 13 (different target number) and uses a blocked triangular layout where upper cards must be cleared before lower cards become available. Elevens pairs to 11 and uses an open grid where all nine cards are always available simultaneously — there is no blocking structure at all.
The lack of blocking makes Elevens faster and more reactive than Pyramid. The strategic question is purely about pair selection: when multiple legal removals exist, which one maximizes the usefulness of the replacement cards from the stock?
Jacks, Queens, and Kings have no numeric complement (no number totals 11 when added to 11, 12, or 13). Instead, they must be removed as a complete trio of one each. This means the game demands keeping at least one Jack, Queen, and King in the grid simultaneously.
The timing of face-card trio removal matters: clearing a trio too early removes three grid positions at once and replaces them from the stock, which may produce more face cards or disrupt a pip-pair pattern. Waiting until the right pip pairs are also available produces a more efficient clearing sequence.
