40 Thieves Solitaire Classic – Card Game Review
40 Thieves Solitaire Classic is a Card/Board game from Glowing Eye Games Ltd, first launched in 6th September 2017.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 878+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes 40 Thieves Solitaire Classic Stand Out
Forty Thieves Solitaire Classic is for those who like to relax with a challenge! It needs time, some luck, and skill to win. Our app makes other card games look easy, even the infamously hard 4 suit version Spider Solitaire.
To step up to this to this challenge our tutorials and intuitive controls will ease you in. If you are familiar with Freecell then you’ll quickly understand the rules. All you have to do is move the both decks of cards to the 8 foundations cells at the top. They need to be stacked in suit order starting with an Ace and finishing with a King. What makes this particularly challenging is you only get one chance to go through the full deck.
Of course, as with all our games, if you are on a winning streak we’ll let you keep on playing. How many rounds can you win in a row?
40 Thieves Features:
- Easy to use controls and simple tutorial.
- Multiple rounds and multiple ways to score.
- Classic and sumptuous green velvet theme with a deluxe hint of casino.
- Beautifully animated, accompanied by a tailor-made soundscape.
- Extensive tutorial and instructions.
- Smooth jazz ambience (optional!).
- Infinite undo so you can try other options.
- Two levels of difficulty. Hard and less hard! (If you like this see Crescent Solitaire Classic!)
Take the challenge and play Forty Thieves Solitaire Classic!
This Card game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Well with much practice, we have won quite a few times in this game. Would love to see something added that shows our wins and gave a feeling of accomplishment.
We thought we were purchasing an upgrade that allowed you to refresh the deck for the whole game. Not so. They charge you for every game.
Love your game – but HATE that very frequently the iPad gets stuck on an ad and the only solution is to reboot! Occasional happening would be irritating -once every other or third day is WAY too much.
Just a couple games repetitive,before start to game,we already knew we could win or lose.
It freezes all the time. Ive had to delete the app and reload it each time it happens. It works, but you lose your scores. Bummer.
Would like option to repeat the same hand. We have to undo every card to start the hand over. Starting over allows us to select different sequence and maybe win.
Best Solitaire game out there !! When you dream about strategies for the game in your sleep, you know its addictive.
We like to have right handed and portrait bord.
We are playing this games for years and am still waiting for the choice to play right handed game. Right now our right hand is blocking our view.
Has ANYONE EVER gotten past level 3? Ive been playing this game for a long time now and have NEVER gotten past level three. We dont think it goes higher than that? It gets exponentially harder the higher you go so getting to level 4 is impossible.
Best Solitaire game out there.
Love the game because it is more challenging and harder to win.
We enjoy playing the game but we dont see an option to restart it, only resume or start a new game.
