Play guide

Before you play

• Eight columns and four single-card free cells.
• Build columns downward in alternating colors.
• Build each foundation upward from Ace to King in its suit.
• Any rank may enter an empty column.
• Sequence capacity is (empty cells + 1) × 2 to the power of empty auxiliary columns, excluding the destination.

Playing a hand

1. Select a card or the start of a sequence, then its destination.
2. Use free cells temporarily, preserving spare capacity.
3. Send Aces and subsequent suited cards to foundations.
4. Complete all four foundations to win. A hint identifies a legal move, not a proven solution.

Calculate capacity before moving

Two empty cells and one empty auxiliary column allow six cards. If that empty column is the destination, it cannot serve as auxiliary space and the limit is three.

A black eight accepts red seven, black six, red five. A same-color pair or a gap in ranks breaks the sequence even when space is available.

Keep an exit from temporary storage

Parking a card exposes the one beneath but reduces capacity. Check how that parked card can return to a column or foundation before filling the final cell.

Automatic foundation moves consider the progress of opposite-color foundations. They do not solve every deal. Undo can help you explore a different storage order.
