A Solitaire Game of Faith
Clear the distractions. Remember what matters.

A quiet moment. A satisfying challenge.
Only four cards need to stay.
Your goal is simple: empty the draw pile and clear the table until only the four Aces remain, one in each column. Compare the exposed cards, remove lower cards of the same suit, and use empty spaces to uncover new possibilities.
Enter your name and make the game your own. There is no countdown to rush you. Take a moment to plan, read a Scripture passage, or simply enjoy another shuffle.
Love. Faith. Hope. Peace. The four illustrations featured on the Aces in both editions.
Four Aces. Four reminders.
Each Ace carries a Christian theme, paired with a Scripture reading and a short reflection. Open the readings whenever you wish; they do not spend a move or change the rules.

Our twist on the classic
Choose a suit. Clear the way.
When a Joker reaches the top of a column, you can play it and choose Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, or Spades.
It removes every non-Ace card of that suit from all four table piles — even buried cards. Every Ace is protected, and cards still in the draw pile stay untouched.
Easy to begin. Room to think.
- Shuffle and deal.
Start with a standard deck plus two Jokers. Four face-up cards form your columns. - Compare the suits.
When exposed cards share a suit, discard a lower one. Aces rank highest and always stay. - Make space.
Move an exposed card into an empty column to reveal what is underneath. Play a Joker when its suit-clearing power can help. - Deal again and finish.
Clear available same-suit discards, then deal the next four cards. The final deal contains two. Win with an empty draw pile and one Ace in each column.
A little help is always close by.

Is What Remains free?
Yes. Both the browser game and Windows edition are free to play.
What do I need for the Windows version?
A 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer with Microsoft Edge installed. Extract the ZIP and open What-Remains.exe. The single EXE includes the artwork and sound code, and the game runs offline in a dedicated Edge app window.
How is this different from traditional Aces Up?
The familiar four-column, same-suit discard rules remain. Our variation adds two Jokers, each able to remove a chosen suit’s non-Ace cards from the whole table, including buried cards. The Christian theme adds illustrated Aces, KJV readings, and reflections. Undo, hints, and saves are digital conveniences.
Can a Joker remove an Ace?
No. Every Ace is protected, even when buried. The Joker also leaves the draw pile untouched. You can use a Joker on a suit with no eligible cards to discard the Joker itself.
How does scoring work?
Track up to 48 ordinary cards cleared, with the two Jokers counted separately. You win when the draw pile is empty and the four columns each contain one Ace. A round that cannot continue can be followed by another shuffle; winning is not guaranteed on every deal.
Do I need Bible knowledge to play?
No. The game explains the rules, and the Scripture readings are available at your own pace. There are no quizzes or knowledge requirements.
Can I move my saved game between versions?
Yes. Use Export save to download a backup and Import save in the other edition. Starting a new game replaces the current local round, and clearing browser data can erase local saves.
