Hey there, card game enthusiast! Are you ready to give Wasp Solitaire a try? This fun and challenging game is similar to Scorpion Solitaire and Yukon Solitaire, and we’re excited to share a basic guide on how to play.

Objective: The goal of Wasp Solitaire is to build four stacks of cards, each for one suit, in ascending order from ace to king. Sounds like a great challenge, right?

Setup: We’ll start with a standard deck of 52 cards. 49 cards will be dealt into 7 columns of 7 cards each. The first three columns will be face down, and the remaining four columns will be face up. We’ll set aside the remaining 3 cards to form the stock.

Gameplay: Here’s where things get exciting! You can move cards between columns if they’re in descending order and of the same suit. For example, you can place a 6 of hearts on a 7 of hearts. The cool thing about Wasp Solitaire is that you can move any face-up card, not just the bottom one, to another pile as long as it follows the rule of descending order and matching suit. When you move a card, every card on top of it will move along as part of the same stack. When you uncover a face-down card, it will be flipped and become available for play. And don’t worry if you empty a space - you can fill it with any card or sequence of cards!

Stock: The stock can be a lifesaver when you’re running out of moves. You can use it to add an extra card to each column. Just be strategic about when you use it - it’s often best to wait until you’re sure you have no other moves left.

Winning the Game: You win Wasp Solitaire by building four suit-specific foundation piles starting with aces and ending with kings. Unlike some solitaire variations, there are no designated spots for these foundations - the game is won once all cards are arranged into four sorted sequences within the tableau itself.

Tips: To increase your chances of winning, prioritize uncovering face-down cards to give yourself more options. Be strategic about when to use the stock, and try to empty columns to give yourself greater flexibility. And don’t worry if you need a bit of luck - it’s all part of the fun!

So, are you ready to give Wasp Solitaire a try? With a mix of skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, you’ll be hooked from the very start. Happy playing!
