Sakhmet Solitaire II

Sakhmet Solitaire II is an updated version of a classic Neopets game: Sakhment Solitaire!

How To Play

Your goal is to create a stack of cards from low (Ace) to high (King) in each of the four target piles in the upper left corner. Each pile can only contain one suit.

Below these target piles is the game board, with cards laid in seven columns. Cards in columns must be placed in descending order and alternate between red and black suits. For example, you can place a black 2 on a red 3.

You can also move sequential runs of cards between columns, and fill empty columns with a King.

To move the cards, either tap it (the computer will move it a legal spot automatically) or drag it manually.

A pair of buttons is available in an action bar at the bottom to either undo your last move or end the game early. You can use the undo button an unlimited number of times! If you get to a point where all cards are either in the target piles or face up in the play area, an Autocomplete button will appear here to quickly complete the game for you.

You can choose to draw-1 or draw-3 using the slider bar at the bottom of the game's starting screen. Draw-3 will earn you a higher bonus if you win (more on that in the "Scoring" section).

Scoring

You earn points in Sakhmet Solitaire in four ways.

1. Game Score: These are the points you earn from moving cards around the board.
   • 5 points for moving a card from the draw pile to the play area.
   • 5 points for revealing a face-down card in the play area.
   • 10 points for placing a card in the target piles.
   • -15 points for moving a card out of the target piles. (So, avoid doing this!)
   • Using the undo button will remove any points you earned from the move you undid. While it counts as a move against your Moves Bonus, it does not have any additional penalties to the Game Score. You can earn the Game Score points right back!
2. Time Bonus: Starts at ~1,000 and lowers by approximately 1 point per second.
3. Moves Bonus: Starts at 300 and lowers by 2 points per move. A "move" is any of the following:
   • Drawing a card from the draw pile.
   • Moving a card or stack of cards anywhere.
   • Clicking the undo button.
4. Game Completion: Points for winning a game. 300 for 1-card draw, 500 for 3-card draw.

If you fail to complete the game (or end it early), you will only receive Game Score points.

Scoring Strategy

To get the highest score possible, you will want to play efficiently (and quickly). Here are several tips to do that:

• Always play 3-card draw. You might win less often, but the extra 200 Game Completion points outweigh any benefits of the 1-card draw.
• If you can, move drawn cards to the play area before the target pile. This will earn you an extra 5 points.
• Be cautious with the automatic card movement. In particular, automatic movement prioritizes the target piles, which could rob you of extra points if you could have used the play area first. It can also move cards uselessly, such as back and forth between two columns.
• Every move should earn points or help work towards earning points. Avoid rearranging cards without an intention, as it will eat into your Moves Bonus.
• Click the autocomplete button as soon as it appears. This will help to maximize your Time Bonus.

Max Possible Score

Game Score: Winning a game means you have placed all 52 cards in the target pile, earning 520 points. It also means flipping over all 21 face-down cards in the play area, another 105 points. Finally, it can be maximized if all 24 cards in the draw pile go through the play area before the target pile, another 120 points. This makes the max possible 520 + 105 + 120 = 745 points.

Time Bonus: This starts at approximately 1,000 points, though obviously finishing the game in close to 0 seconds is impossible.

Moves Bonus: At a bare minimum, this requires moving every card in the deck at least once, which would be 52 moves, leading to a bonus of 196 points. However, if you're maximizing your Game Score, the 24 cards in the draw pile would move twice, meaning 76 moves or a bonus of 148 points. Finally, you would need to flip over 8 trios of cards in the draw pile, making 84 total moves or a bonus of 132.

Game Completion: Winning a game of 3-card draw guarantees this as 500 points.

Total: This makes the hypothetical maximum score 745 + ~1,000 + 132 + 500 = ~2,377. However, this would require a very lucky board to move cards so efficiently, as well as completing the game in no time at all. A realistic maximum would be a few dozen points lower.

Differences from the Original Version

There are several differences to keep in mind if you're used to playing the original Sakhmet Solitaire.

• There's many more ways to earn points. In the original, you earn points only from stacking cards in the target piles. Sakhmet Solitaire II also offers points from moving cards in other ways, from completing the game, for playing quickly, and for playing efficiently.
• All cards are worth the same points. In the original, Aces were worth 20 points in the target pile, Kings were worth 85 points, and all other cards were worth 10 points. In Sakhmet Solitaire II, all cards offer the same points, regardless of face value.
• You have unlimited passes through the draw pile. The original would limit you to either one or three passes through the draw pile. Sakhmet Solitaire II will let you go through as many times as you need; it just may eat into your Moves Bonus!
• You can remove cards from the target piles. However, it will cost you 15 points to do so, a net loss.
• You can move cards without specifying a destination. In the original, you had to first click the card you wanted to move, then click its destination. Sakhmet Solitaire II is smart enough to move a card to a legal destination automatically (though may not send it to the one you want)!
• Undo is available. You can freely undo moves, though it counts as a move against your Moves Bonus.
• Autocomplete is available. The original required you to complete a game by moving every card, one by one, into the target piles. Sakhmet Solitaire II offers an autocomplete button once every card has been turned over and either in the play area or target piles.
• There is no high score table or trophies. Trophies are only awarded for gameplay with the original version.
• There is no cumulative scoring. Your submitted scores do not contribute to your cumulative score in the original, and Sakhmet Solitaire II does not have its own cumulative score.

My High Scores

The game does show up in your My High Scores listing and thus counts towards the Top Gamer avatar. However, it shows up with name "Sakhmet Solitaire (CA)" rather than Sakhmet Solitaire II. The "CA" presumably is short for "companion app" which the game was released alongside.

Sakhmet Soiree

In February 2026, the game was featured in the Sakhmet Soiree event to celebrate the global launch of the Neopets Companion App, in which the game is playable.
