How the Daily Deal works
Each day has one deal, numbered from the first Daily Deal on October 13, 2026. Everyone who plays on a given date gets exactly the same cards in the same order, whether they play on an iPhone, an iPad or an Android phone. A new deal starts at midnight in your own time zone.
The rules are the standard Aces Up rules. Your first win is the one that counts toward your result; if a try goes wrong you can play the deal again, and Jokers and undo work as they do in any other game, with Jokers counted in your result.
Why every Daily Deal can be won
Most Aces Up deals are lost before the first card is played: our study of 100,000 deals found only 11.6% can be won even with perfect knowledge of the deck. The Daily Deal is chosen only from those. Before a deal is published, a solver plays it the natural way, making every discard and dealing only when stuck, and confirms there is a series of moves that ends with the four Aces alone in their piles. That winning line is checked again by the game's own rules engine.
So when a Daily Deal beats you, the answer was there. Usually it comes down to which card you move into an empty pile.
Difficulty through the week
The deals get harder as the week goes on. Monday and Tuesday are Easy: a careful player usually wins. Wednesday to Friday are Medium. Saturday and Sunday are Hard: the deal can be won, but only a few lines of play get there. Difficulty is measured by playing each deal hundreds of times with different choices and counting how often they win.
