Sage Solitaire is easily my favorite mobile card game. Zach Gage has a knack for taking something familiar and twisting it just enough to make it feel brand new. Fusing poker with solitaire is a masterstroke—it turns a game of simple sorting into a game of high-level risk assessment.
The 'Wisdom' mode is my daily ritual. It’s the same layout for everyone, so it feels like a global competition. The clean, minimalist design is a breath of fresh air compared to the flashy, ad-filled card games that usually populate the App Store. It’s elegant, deep, and incredibly hard to put down.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Klondike and FreeCell Solitaire are great games when all you have is a deck of cards, but you have more than that, you have the computer phone of the future! Our phone screens aren't the size of a table (yet), so why do we have to play solitaire games designed for tables?
Isn't it time we had a solitaire game where the cards were big enough to see and easily touch? Shouldn't there be a solitaire game light enough to play casually, yet deep enough for swapping strategies with friends?
At least that's what I think.
I hope you enjoy Sage Solitaire.

Sage Solitaire reinvents two beloved card games, fusing the familiar single-player challenge of Solitaire with the strategic depth of Poker hand building. Players are presented with a tableau of cards and must clear them by selecting combinations that form valid poker hands. With multiple challenging game modes like One Deck, Two Deck, and the daily Wisdom mode, Sage Solitaire offers endless replayability and a satisfying blend of luck and skill.
In Sage Solitaire, your primary objective is to clear all cards from the tableau by forming valid poker hands. Select 2 to 5 visible, open cards from any columns to create a hand (e.g., Pair, Straight, Flush). Once a valid hand is formed, the cards are removed.
To start strong, prioritize clearing cards that block access to others. Don't immediately chase high-scoring hands if it means leaving critical columns blocked; board control is crucial early on.
Scoring is based on the poker hands you make—stronger hands earn more points. Additional bonus points are awarded for clearing entire rows or specific suits.
Unlike traditional Solitaire where you build sequential stacks, Sage Solitaire requires you to form poker hands (like pairs, straights, and flushes) using cards from multiple open columns to clear the board.
The game offers Single Deck, Double Deck, Patience, and Wisdom modes. Single Deck uses one standard deck, while Wisdom is a daily challenge with a fixed layout.
