Forty Thieves Solitaire HD

Forty Thieves, one card at a time

Forty Thieves Solitaire HD is a single-player card game for people who enjoy building a plan from a tight set of moves. The aim is to move every card to the foundations, arranging each suit from Ace through King. On the tableau, you can place a card on a higher card of the same suit, or use an empty space. Only one card moves at a time, so choosing what to uncover and where to leave gaps matters.

A game of patience

The stock gives you another card when you tap its stack. On easy, you can cycle through the stock three times, offering more chances to find a useful move. Hard mode adds another constraint: cards beneath the top cards on the tableau are hidden. That makes the layout less predictable and asks for more patience. This is not a quick-match solitaire; it suits players who are happy to work through a difficult position and accept that not every deal will open up.

Room to see the cards

Forty Thieves uses a busy layout, with many cards visible at once. It is better suited to tablets and larger phones, where the tableau is easier to navigate. On a small screen, the same spread can feel cramped. High-resolution cards and zoom help with visibility, while undo lets you reconsider a move. The game can also save your state, so you can return to a deal later rather than finishing it in one sitting.

Who keeps it

Magory’s card game has a 4.2-star rating from 860 reviews and 50,000+ installs. Those numbers point to a steady audience, but the fit is more specific: try it if you like traditional solitaire rules, deliberate decisions and a challenge that rewards careful sequencing. If you prefer a fast game with frequent easy wins, the harder Forty Thieves layouts may wear thin.
