At the start of a game of Kings in the Corners, all the cards are dealt to what is called a stock pile. The top card of this stock pile is available for play.

There are 16 tableau piles in four rows of four. The corner piles are marked for Kings, the left and right side piles are marked forJacks, and the top and bottom piles are marked for Queens.

The object of the game is to place the 4 Kings, 4 Queens, and 4 Jacks in these positions. The game is won when this is done (regardlessof where the other cards are).

Play by moving the top card of the stock to an empty pile in the tableau. When a King comes up, place it in a pile marked for Kings,and do the same for Queens and Jacks. Cards are to be placed in the tableau and the tableau must be completely filled before any cardsmay be removed.

Once the tableau is filled, two cards that add to 10 may be paired and removed from play (Tens are removed singly). Cards other thanthe King, Queen, or Jack may be placed in the marked edge piles, but you will need to remove them in a pair so that a King, Queen, orJack can later be played there. Once a card has been placed, it cannot be moved except to create a pair that adds to 10 (or is a Ten).

When all possible pairs have been removed, fill the tableau again from the stock. When the tableau is once again filled, cards can bepaired once again.

Repeat the process. The game is won if the 12 Kings, Queens, and Jacks are all placed in their proper places. The game is lost if aKing, Queen, or Jack appears and there is no proper place to put it, or if the tableau fills up and there are no pairs to remove.

The Key To Success

Where To Buy Kings In The Corner

The key to winning is to keep the marked piles open as long as possible. Place Kings, Queens, and Jacks in their marked places whenthey appear (you cannot place them on any other pile). Fill the center first with lower cards. When the center is full, you will need toplace cards on the spaces for Kings, Queens, and Jacks. Fill up places where there are the most other options available (for example, ifthere are 3 empty King spaces but only two empty Queen and Jack spaces, fill the King space first). Note that you will always be ableto remove a 10 once the tableau is filled.

Need a game to play with your grandkids at your New Year’s Eve party?

One that is simple to learn and doesn’t require any special preparation or equipment?

One that grade school-aged grandchildren can play with teenaged grandchildren or adults and not be at a disadvantage?

If so, I think the card game Kings in the Corner fills the bill nicely.

All you need is one standard deck of playing cards (Make sure you take out the jokers.)

This card game is for 2 or more players. If you have very many grandkids at your party, just divide everyone into small groups. You will need a deck of cards for each group.

(This game is similar to Solitaire. And, aces are the lowest cards in the deck with the value of 1.)

The object is to be the person to have the least amount of points at the end of the game.

To play, deal seven cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. This is the stockpile.

Turn the four top cards over, placing one on each of the four sides of the deck (e.g. north, south, east, and west so that the cards on the table are in the shape of a plus sign). These are the foundation piles that you play on.

The player to the left of the dealer starts the play by drawing one card from the center stockpile and makes an appropriate move.

Valid moves:

1. Place a card from your hand on top of one of the foundation cards. It must be the opposite color from the card it is placed on top of. It must also be the next lower numerical number.

For instance, if the card in the foundation pile was a black 5, the next card to be played on top of it has to be a red 4.

2. If you have a king in your hand, lay it in one of the four diagonal corners. Only a king can be placed in a corner. This starts a new foundation. You can then play as many other cards as you can making sure they are valid moves.

3. You can pick up an entire foundation pile and place it on top of another foundation pile as long as it follows the correct number and color sequencing.

4. Put any card from your hand in a foundational pile area if that area is empty (because it has been moved to another foundational pile).

Kings In The Corner Instructions

A player can continue laying down as many cards as she can. When she can’t lay down any more, the play goes to the next person to the left. That person draws a card from the stockpile and makes as many valid moves as she can.

If all of the cards in the center stockpile are gone, play continues until either someone runs out of cards or until no further moves can be made.

The first player to get rid of all of her cards is the winner of that round.

Scoring
A person gets one point for every card left in her hand at the end of a round. If she is holding a king card, she gets 10 points for that card. Points are accumulated until a player reaches or exceeds a target score that is agreed upon in advance (say 50 points).

The winner of the game is the person who has the lowest number of points when someone reaches the target score.

If you play this card game with the grandkids on New Year’s Eve, I hope you have a wonderful time as you ring in the new year!
