Calm card game

BreakPatience

Big cards, no timer. Chain moves, crack columns open.

Patience with big, clear cards and no clock, plus a few new tricks. Turn over the last hidden card in a column and it cracks open for a Break you can spend on the Ledge. Good moves in a row build a chain, and chains earn power-ups: Peek, Shuffle, Wild and Tide. Play the shared daily deal, a four-hand Run with twists, or free deals on three tables: Classic, Harbor and Vine. Every deal has been won by a solver first.

FAQ

Questions

Can every daily deal be won?

Yes. Before a daily deal goes out, a solver plays it to the end, so a win always exists. Free, Harbor, Vine and Run deals are checked the same way.

What are Breaks and the Ledge?

When you turn over the last hidden card in a column, it breaks open and you earn a Break. Spend one to lift any single card onto the Ledge, a spare spot you can play from at any time.

How do chains and power-ups work?

Sending a card home, turning a card over, breaking a column or lifting a run are good moves. Four in a row without turning the stock earns a power-up. There is no clock, so chains reward planning, not speed.

Is there a timer?

No. Your daily result is your move count and score, and you can undo as often as you like.

What is the bot's move count?

It is how many moves the solver took to win that deal. The solver only knows how to win, not how to win neatly, so a careful player can usually beat it.

Is BreakPatience free?

Yes. It plays in your browser, with no account and no ads.

Do I need to download anything?

No. BreakPatience runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Board Games app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.
