How To Win Tiki Solitaire

MistyMew · February 2020

Hi everyone! And also @Rhodopis! So in case someone is looking how to win solitaire here are my tips and they may help you too!

1. Never use the deck until all possible matches are gone.

2. Red and Black always alternate, you can see the colors by the number on the cards, and based on this you can see that coconuts and leaves are RED and Bananas and pineapples are BLACK

3. Cards always are stacked from high to low

4. Always, always try to get the turned card stacks down, in cases of TWO cards being able to be moved, I always choose the biggest stack, this doesn't always work, but this way I don't sit there and think about it.

5. A goal is to always try and get cards on the ACES, if you get stuck you can always take cards back down from the ACES which gives you power over the game!

So here is the first example, the red 6 going on the black 7, and the black 10 going on the red Jack:

Stacking the 6 on the 7 let us flip a card which revealed a RED 9, so let's put that on the BLACK 10 and the BLACK 8 on the RED 9 as well!! (REMEBER don't touch the deck yet)

So far so good, we revealed more cards we can stack!

Well, it loooks like we have run out of matches, so let's turn to the deck, on the first flip we can clean out the deck by placing all 3 cards! see the image below:

Another flip and we could place all those cards too, so far things are looking great!

Another Flip and we got an ACE which we put in the upper right corner! Let's keep going!

Still going

Well folks, I lost that game, proves you can't win them all right? But let's re-deal and take what we know and apply it to a new game!

Now rule 4 kicks in, I choose the BLACK 5 on the bigger stack!

Okay now we are in a sticky situation, our deck is empty, we still have un-turned cards, and we a missing an ACE, but is it over? Not yet! lets try some fancy re-arranging!

After a little thought, it seems the coconuts are the best bet, our goal is the get that BLACK 7 pineapple moved over onto a new stack and the only way to do that is to get the BLACK 7 Bananas up with the ACES:
