How to play Aces Up

How Aces Up starts: stock (four cards a deal), discard pile, and four columns, one card each to start.

Aces Up uses one deck and four columns. Throw away cards until only the four Aces are left, one in each column.

Undo has no limit, and every daily deal can be won.

Tips

Keyboard

Arrow keys move between cards. Enter or Space plays the card you're on. D deals, H shows a hint, Escape cancels a selection, and Ctrl+Z undoes a move.

Questions

Are Aces high or low in Aces Up?

High. An Ace is never thrown away, which is why the four Aces are what's left when you win.

What can go in an empty column?

Any card from the top of another column. Moving an Ace there is often the best use of it, since an Ace never has to move again.

How often can you win?

Not often. One common estimate is about one game in 35 with ordinary play. Every daily deal here can be won: a computer that can see every card checks each one before we publish it.
