Play Four Seasons Solitaire Online

Four Seasons, also called Corner Card, places five cards in a cross between four foundation corners. The first dealt card sets the foundation base rank. Each foundation builds up in suit from that rank, wrapping after King to Ace when necessary. The five tableau piles build downward by rank, while a stock feeds a waste one card at a time. A small cross can become crowded quickly. Start a free deal, find the base rank, and decide which cards need space in the cross.

1. Place the first card in its suit foundation; its rank becomes the base for all four foundations. Deal five cards face up to form the cross.
2. Click Draw card to reveal one card from the stock. Only the waste's top card can move.
3. Select an exposed cross card or the waste top and place it onto a cross pile whose top is exactly one rank higher. Rank building wraps: an Ace may go onto a Two, and a King may go onto an Ace.
4. Fill an empty cross position with an available card. Move a card to its matching suit foundation when its rank follows the foundation top or matches the base rank of an empty foundation.
5. Build each foundation for thirteen cards to win. There is no stock redeal.

• The first card fixes the common foundation base rank for all four suits.
• Foundations ascend in suit, wrapping from King to Ace until each suit has thirteen cards.
• Cross piles descend by rank regardless of suit and can wrap from Ace to King.
• Any available waste card or exposed cross card can fill an empty cross position.
• The stock turns one card at a time. Once empty, it cannot be recycled.

• Check the foundation base before placing a card. With a base of Nine, a Ten can advance a started suit, while an Eight cannot.
• Keep at least one cross position free when the waste holds a card you cannot use yet.
• Look for wrap moves. A King can fit on an Ace in the cross under round-the-corner building.
• Move cards to foundations when that exposes a cross card needed by another suit.
• Spend waste cards carefully. A card covered by a later draw stays unavailable until the new top moves.

• Corner Card: An alternate name that refers to the foundation positions around the cross.
• Calculation Solitaire: Calculation also wraps ranks, but each foundation follows a different arithmetic step.

• The cross keeps the tableau compact. Five positions are easy to scan, but an awkward card can occupy a needed space for several turns.
• A different base rank changes every deal. With Queen as the base, Aces appear early in the foundation order rather than at the start.
• Round-the-corner moves reward close attention. A King on an Ace in the cross looks odd until you remember the circular rank sequence.
• The waste creates deliberate timing choices. Drawing again can cover an available card, so move a useful top card first.
• The four foundation corners show progress clearly. Each completed suit takes thirteen cards, no matter which rank served as its base.
