Can’t Stop™ - Solitaire Version

Can’t Stop™ can be played solitaire. The object is to complete all eleven columns in as few turns as
possible. Here are two variations, one easy and one advanced.

Can’t Stop™ Solitaire - Easy

Play normal rules, except:

1. Count number of turns taken, including scratch (unsuccessful) turns. A turn may include
multiple dice throws, until you decide to stop or you scratch (can’t place or move a temporary
marker).
2. Try to complete all columns within 30 turns.

Can’t Stop™ Solitaire - Advanced

Play normal rules, except:

1. Count number of turns taken, including scratch (unsuccessful) turns.

2. If temporary markers have been placed in any partially-completed columns during a turn in
which you scratch, your permanent colored marker for each of those columns is removed.
You must start each of those columns again, from the bottom.
3. Try to complete all columns within 40 turns.

To make the challenge more difficult, reduce the target number of turns. With a sufficient number of
test games, a table of score ranges could be established to indicate the level of victory or loss (e.g.,
for Advanced, 30 or less = outstanding; 31-35 = excellent; 36-40 = very good; etc.).

If you wish to keep a game session record, use the turn record sheet, below. Otherwise, just make
marks on a piece of paper or use another method to keep track of the number of turns used.

Instructions for Turn Record Sheet

1. For each turn, record the column numbers and spaces the temporary markers are moved.
Example: Turn 1. 4x2, 8x2, 9x1. This would indicate that the player made two 4’s, two 8’s, and
one 9, and then ended the turn.
2. A scratch (unsuccessful) turn is marked with an “S”. For the advanced version, follow the S
with the column numbers that were wiped out by the scratch (if any). Example: S - 4,5 would
indicate that the player had temporarily marked the 4 and 5 columns before scratching.
3. When a column is completed successfully in a turn, indicate it with the word “Cap”.
Example: 7 Cap. This notes that the 7 column was completed that turn and is no longer
available.
