Terrace Chain
Terrace Chain is a one up one down patience card game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.
A patience game with 28 cards on four terraces, played one above or one below the chain card to build long chains. A card of the chain card's suit may also be two away, the stock turns a new chain card when you are stuck, and each card in a chain scores one more than the last. Rounds of three deals follow one after another, and a solver checks that every deal can be cleared.
How to play
- Tap a free card one above or one below the chain card. King and ace touch
- A card of the chain card suit may also be two away
- Stuck? Tap the stock to turn a new chain card
- Each card in a chain scores one more than the card before it
- Clear all four terraces for a bonus. Three deals make a round
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Tap a free card to play it on the chain
- Tap the stock to turn a card
- Arrows and Enter
- T turn
- H hint
Tips
- Before turning the stock, look for a same-suit card two away from the chain card, since it can keep a chain going.
- A chain of ten scores 55 points while ten single plays score only 10, so plan a long run before you play.
- Free the back terraces early: clearing all 28 cards adds 20 points plus 5 for every card left in the stock.
What plays on the chain card in Terrace Chain?
Any free card one above or one below it, whatever its suit, with king and ace next to each other both ways. A card of the chain card's own suit may also be two away, so a 5 or a 9 of hearts plays on the 7 of hearts.
Can every deal be cleared?
Yes. Before a deal is shown, a solver plays it with the whole stock in view and keeps it only once it has cleared all four terraces. A Hint shows a move from such a line, but it costs 5 points, and there is no Undo.
