80/100

Kings Corner is a digital version of the popular 'solitaire-style' card game often played with friends. It’s a great 'middle ground' game—more complex than War but easier to learn than Bridge. The goal is to get rid of all your cards by building sequences on the board, but the twist is that you can only start new piles in the corners with Kings.

This app version features solid AI that provides a decent challenge for solo play. The interface is clean and the drag-and-drop mechanics for the cards are smooth. It’s a great digital recreation of a classic 'kitchen table' game that is perfect for killing time or keeping your mind sharp during a commute.

Dinsun Review

Kings Corner is a great family game, but this app is a poor substitute for the real thing. The interface is cluttered and the 'animations' are stiff. Card games rely on a sense of flow and tactile feedback, both of which are missing here. The AI is either brain-dead or strangely omniscient, with very little middle ground.

It’s a functional way to play if you’re alone, but the soul of the game—the social interaction around a table—is lost in translation. It feels like a budget title that was rushed out without much care for user experience. It's playable, but I can't say I enjoyed my time with it. Stick to a real deck of cards.

    Move over Solitaire, there's a new king of card games! King’s Corner, or Kings in the Corner, is a great game for all ages—easy to pick up and endlessly entertaining. Play on your own with an AI that’s as challenging as you like: one to three opponents can miss moves while you’re still learning and be laser-accurate once you’ve mastered the game. Play with friends online via Game Center or in-person with our pass & play mode that’s all the fun with none of the shuffling and dealing.

    King’s Corner 3 is a universal purchase for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and has been fully optimized for the latest OS versions. As always, it's fully compatible with VoiceOver so players with limited or no vision are welcome.

    Here’s how the game works:

    King's Corner uses the same basic rules as games like Solitaire—cards are placed in descending order and in alternating colors. A red 9 can be played on a black 10, or a black ace can be placed on a red 2.

    The deck is set up with 8 spaces around the deck; four king spaces (marked with a crown) and four unmarked spaces. You'll get a new card at the beginning of every turn, and the goal of the game is to get rid of your cards first by making as many of the following types of moves as possible:

    • Add a card to any existing stack

    • Move a card or stack in one unmarked space to the bottom of any other card or stack. King stacks don't move, since there's nothing higher than a King.

    • Start a new stack if there's an empty space on the table. Only kings can start the corner stacks, but any other card can start a stack in one of the four unmarked spots.


    Requires iOS 14.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Kings Corner is a beloved classic card game now optimized for your mobile device. Similar to Solitaire but played with multiple people (or AI), the goal is to be the first to empty your hand. Build piles of alternating colors and use the four corners of the board for your Kings. With intuitive touch controls and a smart AI, it's a fantastic way to enjoy this traditional game anywhere.

    You can move an entire pile onto another if the bottom card of the moving pile is one rank lower and a different color than the top card of the destination pile.
