What Makes One Handed Solitaire Stand Out
Follow us on Twitter @1HandSolitaire & @RDApps
One Handed Solitaire is a card game played with a traditional 52 card deck, minus the jokers. It can be played in one hand and does not require a flat surface to arrange the cards. After shuffling the playing cards, hold the deck face down in your hand. Draw four cards from the deck and place them on top of the face down deck of cards. You will fan out the cards so that the suit and face value can be seen at all times for the last 4 cards.
The object of the game is to discard as many cards as you can, in the least amount of shuffles of the deck. To start discarding you must have at least four cards drawn from the deck and face-up in your hand. To discard cards, you need to match either the suit or face value of the cards in the first and fourth position (from the most recently drawn cards in your hand). If you match the suit, for example both are Hearts or Diamonds, you discard the middle two cards. If you match the face value, for example both are Aces or 9s, you discard all four cards. After you discard, if you still have at least four cards face up in your hand, look for another match before drawing one card. Repeat these steps until you draw all the cards or discard all of them. If you run out of cards to draw, you may keep playing and reshuffle your remaining cards and continue to discard when you find matches.
Along the way you’ll earn points and achievements for discarding in Apple’s Game Center, so make sure to log in or create your free account.

Community Insight:
By far this is the best one handed cell phone game we have EVER played! Would highly recommend, it is an amazing app with the best sound effects.
Finally – something else we can do with our one hand to pass the time.
Love the game but whenever we get a high score it connects us to twitter and then the App Store. We don't have a twitter account so that's kind of annoying. Please fix.
Love the game, but it crashes a ton.
Finally we can play without someone taking our cards. Love the update. The cards are so much easier to discard.
A great way to pass the time! Fun, easy to use and a good ole fashion good time.
Awesome and addictive game. Very well made app. Love it.
We downloaded this app and when we try to draw a card it wont move at all. Is there some kind of trick…? We mean, we've played this game with real cards a bunch if times but the app wont let us draw the cards! Dx.
If you like to waste time as much as we do…this is the game for you.
Awesome version of the actual card game that we've played forever! Very addictive and easy to play… Love the point scoring feature.
We love this app cannot stop playing!! Highly recomend for solitaire lovers…. Easy to learn… Hard to master….LOL.

This game is a great way to pass the time. We have been playing it since we downloaded it. Easy to learn.
