So is there no way to lose this game? I know in a lot of other solitaire games you can still lose
@@jackthecat4266 Chance of winning this one is admittedly high. Sometimes it’s a welcome change to a scorpion, or a free cell, or Australian patience! Thx for the note.
I love how the accordion guy is always attentive to playing the accordion when he says 'accordion'.
Looks like captive queens
I should play this with a 40 card italian pack
Would you play this with a 78 card tarot pack?
Well, I found that game to be simply delightful! Wait a minute.......
@@sousasrock2140 So pleased you enjoyed it, Sousa!
Look, yes it was a delight. And even more so when playing it. But I guess no one here is an idiot for that reason haha 😜
No way. No idiots here! Glad you enjoyed it.
Dear Sir. An empty space can be filled with any card and work as a cell. A card from the stuck can go only to an empty space. Am I correct?
Yes. An empty space must be filled from the pack before any shifting of cards. Any card can claim this empty position, but try to get Kings there. It helps. Good luck!
I find this game delightful! Especially enjoy the sfx and Stooges reference. Fun Fact: Editors often have assorted unused clips at the end of their timeline when finished and refer to this collection of outtakes as "the boneyard".
I love a good "fun fact." Thanks, Swoodie71! Keep 'em coming.
Thank you for the video! Looks like a very fun game, I’ll definitely give it a try🎉
You're welcome. Hope you like it!
This game looks great but I can’t find rules for this game anywhere. Were those rules published but the United States Playing Card Company in 1950 also? When I look up idiots delight I find three very different games: Aces Up (Drivel Patience/Firing Squad version), King Albert, and Perpetual Motion. However I also read “idiots delight” is a a pejorative term for any patience or card solitaire. Does this game have an alternative name?
I found this version of Idiots Delight in a card game book by Vernon Quinn published 1933. It's described as a simplified version of the game "according to Hoyle." Unfortunately no other game names were provided.
Can u take a entire run and put it on another card? First example you have a queen in one place and a jack , 10 and a 9 in a nother space. So could you take the jack with the cards below it and put it on the queen?
@@Zerdbird Sorry no. Only the top single card is in play
Thank you for the video!! :)
My pleasure!
Such a satisfying and simple game! Thank you for the demo!
But of course!
Yo card guy can you please do a game that is exactly a 50/50 i know u prob wont do one but please create a vid about a solitare that is 50/50 . If u dont i still love the chanel and u make my day so much better either way uploading . Please never quit bye bye !!
Why is idiots delight called aces up
Hmm. Excellent question and perhaps a bit of foreshadowing? Idiots delight and aces up are different games. Stay tuned to learn more ...
To learn more check out my latest video: ua-cam.com/video/cwLKJVWHYpU/v-deo.html
Card guy. This doesn’t look like the aces up game I’m familiar with. Can you do the other aces up, with the four card tableau and the discard pile? I think this version you play is more commonly known as Easthaven.
@@incredulous72 Interesting … will do a little research. Thx!
Circling back, the Aces Up version and rules were published by the United States Playing Card Company back in 1950. In looking up rules for Easthaven, many sites call it "originally called Aces Up." How do your Aces Up rules differ? Curious ...
@@SolitaireWithTheCardGuythe aces up I’m familiar with is also known as Drivel Patience, Firing Squad, and Idiot’s delight (and funnily enough its nothing like the idiots delight you just posted!). Gameplay for Aces Up works as follows (from Wikipedia): 1. Deal four cards in a row face up. 2. If there are two or more cards of the same suit, discard all but the highest-ranked card of that suit. Aces rank high. 3. Repeat step 2 until there are no more pairs of cards with the same suit. 4. Whenever there are any empty spaces, you may choose the top card of another pile to be put into the empty space. After you do this, go to Step 2. 5. When there are no more cards to move or remove, deal out the next four cards from the deck face-up onto each pile. 6. Repeat Step 2, using only the visible, or top, cards on each of the four piles. 7. When the last four cards have been dealt out and any moves made, the game is over. The fewer cards left in the tableau, the better. To win is to have only the four aces left. When the game ends, the number of discarded cards is your score. The maximum score (and thus the score necessary to win) is 48, which means all cards have been discarded except for the four aces, thus the name of the game. --- This is also the version of aces up that is available on phone apps. Also many other UA-camrs show this version of Aces Up (but not to the high quality of your videos!)
Спасибо за труд!
My family has been playing this for generations. Our rules are slightly different, but it’s really cool to see other people playing it!
@@implosive4065 Oh yes. Double solitaire is so often beloved and part of so many family memories. It can get competitive (and sometimes violent!) when the match is close. Enjoy! And thanks for the note.
After playing a round, I realized that getting Aces early in the game can block your ability in unwinding/rewinding, hindering progress. So it's best not to fill up the empty spaces right away and risk getting an Ace early in the game.

Have you heard of coyote solitaire? It’s supposed to be an easier version of acme solitaire. I’ve been searching up new games to learn and coyote came up, but I can’t find any tutorials!
@@valkyrja- interesting! I will have to look into it. Thx.
This is very challenging I accidentally cheated because I removed the king piles once they were completed
@@peggymeissner2029 no worries! I had to practice how to unwind runs. Then it’s fun. You’ll get it.
❤😅😢
I want to play card games default play store
Am I going crazy or did he keep switching from regular sized cards to giant ones😭
What happens when the reserve pile is gone?
Redealing in groups of three may be done without limit until the game is won or comes to a standstill. Thanks for writing and enjoy the game!
tried this 5 times. first 3 games, i was only able to make a couple moves. last 2 games lasted a little longer, but woof. This doesn't seem "highly winnable" at all!
Very addictive because it feels achievable but winnable to one remaining pile? Very tough. Keep at it!!
I’m confused learning this cause some ppl will place cards on each foundation that match the first foundation only. And some people will match the cards to the foundation above it only. Which is the right way? And most ppl don’t replenish the reserve pile like you did. Trying so hard to learn this lol
The fun way is to play a card that already exists in ANY foundation above. The true way / challenging way is to play a card that exists in the foundation IMMEDIATELY above. Tough game to win! Thanks for writing.
Hi! Did the subscriber show the math behind the 7 times? Im curious
Here is an article that describes a recommendation that a deck of cards should be riffled seven times in order to thoroughly randomize it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds_model Check it out!
I am confused. At one point, you said only kings can go in an empty spot but earlier in the game you had moved a queen into the empty spot.
Thanks for the note! Yes that may not have been clear. Here's the deal: when one of the 8 columns in your tableau is empty, ANY card may take the empty position. The difference is when you wish to move the King, it can only go to an empty column. In other words, a king can only move to an empty column, but an empty column can be filled with any card. I hope that helps! And thanks again for writing.
Great tutorial! I really appreciate that you show how to deal the cards, it answers a lot of questions.
Why, thank you!
Great tutorial! It's so interesting how it's debated which game was Nepoleon's favorite. So far both are enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have thought of a way to add strategy to this game, which is virtually all luck and can be frustrating if you don’t get the right cards. I’ve added a second way to pick up cards, which would be having three in a row - doesn’t matter what color, just ranking. If you have three in a row horizontally vertically or diagonally, you can pick those three cards up too. That adds strategy and makes it much more fun! What do you think?
I like it! This game can be tough and I like adding a variable to the tableau. Good thinking!
How does turns work? The gameplay confused me.
No problem. In double solitaire two players play their games of Klondike at the very same time! You may build on ANY ace foundations - yours or your opponent's!
I had bought 2 deck of cards for this
Excellent. Good luck and let me know if you like it!
@@SolitaireWithTheCardGuy it is really nice I love it I always play it when I'm bored
I want to play the game
It is a fun one!
nice! tyfs
My pleasure!
so you must follow suit on any clock hour? what if all clock cards by random chance are hearts (or nearly all). You can't do anything. Also the kings should be removed.
You don't remove the kings in this version. But feel free to play it that way if you like however. Makes it more fun!
where is this 7 times mathematically proven?
Gilbert Shannon Reeds Model determined 7 times is best. Check out this article for more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds_model
These rules need work...
7:00 waste pile should be shuffled otherwise you can have unsolvable plays.
You’re using 7 slots.
Found the rule pdf on wikipedia. This seems the lax interpretation. And still... I would add more options. knowing in advance I have a 99.5% chance of not winning, starting this up will take some courage.
You can do it!
3:45 you should cover the 10. okay played it once, got stuck around half way. Unless you have a rule that 3 cards can add up to 10, at least. But even with that, I got into a situation with very high and very low cards that did not add up to exactly 10. So no, it doesn't seem like a game that can be solved.
penguin is better.
Penguin? Will have to check it out. Thx.
1:00 7 times riffle shuffle - you can't be serious. 3 is enough.
In minute 10:08 can't you take the 5 of clubs and place it in the first column below the 6 of diamonds so you can take the 6 of hearts to the fundation? Or is it forbidden to move only one card?
Excellent idea. Yes you can move tableau cards to other piles and free up the card below. Good catch!
I had to unwind the rewind several times, but I followed your path! Go Pack Go!!!!
Takes practice but you got it!!
Card Guy thanks for videos, I wish you positive mood for next videos, cheer and good luck.
