How to play Crescent Solitaire

Crescent uses two decks: four foundations build up from Ace, four build down from King, and sixteen piles sort by suit. Move every card onto a foundation to win.

Tableau 1 — Move cards from the tableau down by suit. Empty a pile to park any card, and use both foundation directions to clear suits from both ends.

Tableau 2 — Move cards from the tableau down by suit. Empty a pile to park any card, and use both foundation directions to clear suits from both ends.

Tableau — Sixteen piles of six face-up cards
Ascending foundations — Four piles built Ace → King by suit
Descending foundations — Four piles built King → Ace by suit

Opening strategy

Work the long suits first — a suit with many tableau cards needs both its ascending and descending foundations open. Reserve empty piles for cards that unlock buried runs.

When you get stuck

Do not fill a foundation too early if that suit still needs the other direction. Blocking a descending foundation with the wrong rank can trap half a suit.

Difficulty & win feel

Medium-hard two-deck game. The dual-direction foundations give more paths than Forty Thieves, but the 16 piles reward careful suit management.

Who it’s for

Crescent is best for players who enjoy two-deck solitaire, suit sorting, and puzzles where every suit can be cleared from either end.
