Kings in the Corner is a popular card game where players try to get rid of their hand by playing cards onto a central board of alternating colors.

Perfect for a quick solo challenge or a family game night.

Our Expert Score
Kings in the Corner is a faithful and snappy digital translation of the classic family card game. It’s essentially 'communal solitaire,' and this app captures that competitive-yet-casual vibe perfectly. The AI is well-balanced, offering three levels of difficulty that actually feel distinct—the 'hard' mode will genuinely punish you for poor card management.
The visual presentation is clean and utilitarian, which is exactly what you want for a card game. The haptic feedback when you successfully move a pile or play a King into the corner is a nice modern touch. While it lacks some of the flashy animations of larger card game apps, its stability and fast-loading times make it a superior choice for quick gaming sessions. It’s a nostalgic trip that works beautifully on a touch screen, especially with the 'drag-and-snap' physics of the cards.

Tips & Walkthrough
Don't just play every card you can. Try to prioritize cards that allow you to consolidate stacks on the board. Consolidating stacks opens up empty spots, which are the only places where you can play the cards from your hand that aren't currently part of a sequence.
Gameplays
Kings can only be played in the four corner spots. Always play a King as soon as you draw one; it creates a new foundation pile that allows you to move larger sequences of cards, significantly helping you empty your hand before the AI.

The first player to play all the cards from their hand onto the board is the winner.

Fun game with one major defect
Tue Jan 19 2021 Idon'thavenostinkin'nicknameThis game is very fun conceptually and this rendition is done reasonably well. The way I was taught this version of solitaire, however, allowed for the removal, IIRC, of any number of cards adding up to ten, including sets of three and (presumably) more. This added considerable depth and strategy, since it allowed for making gambles and devising subtler responses to varying situations. For example, if you were in desperate need of space, you could take off an eight with two aces, even though that would run the risk of leaving up to two nines on the table with no means of removing them. If this was added, this game would be vastly improved.
Quite fun, but could use a couple tweaks
Sun Jan 02 2022 Youngster237I’d be happy to give this game 5 stars, but it’s lacking a couple functions. It’s still fun, but I want to see it updated. 1. It doesn’t allow you to deselect a card when coming up with a combo of 10, for removal from the board. You’re forced to stick with your original choice even though you haven’t removed the cards. 2. Allow combinations of multiple cards when removing cards of 10. For example, 5, 3, & 2 or 7, 2, & A). This makes the game more challenging as you risk being “landlocked”, if no combos of 10 can be made It’s a good game though. I still recommend.
Still great today!
Tue Feb 24 2026 WRS15743The recent update made the game even better. It was already good, but when you win now there are firework effects and you get a special card to collect. Fun! Those who say it doesn’t work didn’t read the rules. You have to fill the board with all four kings, all four queens, and all four jacks to win. So it’s harder than just getting four kings, but super satisfying when you win. My original review is below. I highly recommend this game! - - - Original Review: Glad I found this game! It’s perfect for when you have a few minutes on a break. Great design and works smoothly. I also appreciate that there are no ads, no IAP, and no data collection. I happily support developers who are fair like this. Thank you for making my new go-to, quick-play, solitaire game!
Doesn’t work
Sat Jun 24 2023 DxiXpnThere are literally no instructions to this game. All the Kings on the Corner games I’ve played before when you get four kings in the corner you win. They show you down the sides and the kings go in the corner and the queens and the jacks go around the sides and it has the letters in those boxes for each one goes where. But these don’t show you anything at all. And you try to place one somewhere and it won’t take it. But on this, I finally got four kings in the corner and then I got four pop-up boxes in the middle that says loser. It does not work, right
Simple, clean, and challenging
