About Solitaire 12in1
Solitaire is a classic game that you can learn fairly quickly, but it will also require you to rely a lot on the draw to determine how things play out. Since this game is giving you 12 versions, you'll be counting on luck to be on your side to help you find quick and smooth solutions. You're just playing against yourself so it's you against the game and you're pretty much just trying to put it away. How you put it away while limiting the card movements is the test of skill and you're going to learn it each time.
How to Play
Solitaire 12in1 is a 2D collection of card games that are all based around Solitaire that you play using the mouse and keyboard. To interact with the UI and to move cards around, use the cursor and click/hold the Left Mouse Button as needed. Though each version has a different setup, the goal is a variant of sorting all the cards into specific areas in the right order. If you lock yourself out of moves, you might have to restart.
The way Solitaire is set up is based on areas: Foundation, Stockpile, Waste Pile, Cells, and Tableau. Each version of the game has a tableau which refers to the space in which most of the cards will be placed at the start. Each one also has a Foundation or a place where all of the cards will need to be moved from the Tableau. The Stockpile refers to the deck of leftover cards after the Tableau has been set up and you can draw from it if you get stuck. Waste Piles offer additional spaces for Stockpile cards to go until they can be played. Cells serve as blank spaces where you can move cards to give yourself more space to work. The game ends once you've cleared all the cards from the Tableau.
Though each version of the game has different rules, you can choose to decide what rules are in place. You can raise or lower the amount of Foundations, and decide whether cards need to be in matching suits, or need to go in a certain order. How the Tableau is set up is what changes how you're thinking.
Tips and Tricks
The game does a good job of leading you in and performing the setup so you just need to focus on practicing. If you want to improve, you should review some other setups and the multiple versions of each style. The more you play, the more you learn.
