Cover (Single Deck Solitaire Game)

Cover is a quick, simple solitaire game in which you must remove cards from the tableau in pairs. Although your chance of winning is low and based almost entirely on luck, Cover is a fast-paced and entertaining game for mindless play.

Layout for Cover Solitaire

Begin by shuffling the cards, then deal out a row of four face-up cards to form the tableau. Place the rest of the deck in a pile, face-down, to form the stock.

How to Play Cover Solitaire

Remove cards from the tableau in pairs of the same suit, regardless of rank and position in the tableau. Whenever a tableau space becomes empty, fill it immediately with the top card from the stock. You win the game when the tableau spaces are filled with one card from each suit -- diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades -- and the stock is empty. If there are no more moves before the stock is emptied, you lose the game.

Strategy Tips for Cover Solitaire

Since you have no control of what cards fill the empty tableau spaces, there is really no strategy involved in Cover. The game is most fun, and can be won in less than thirty seconds, if you have quick reflexes and simply remove cards as fast as possible.
