Four suits, one objective

Here is what to know. The objective remains eight same-suit sequences from King to Ace. This game uses two complete decks for a total of 104 cards. Four suits adds more suit conflicts without changing the basic descending-rank rule. Spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds each contain two copies of every rank.

Read rank and suit

On this website, the following points apply. Matching colors are not enough to create a movable sequence. You can place an exposed card on a card exactly one rank higher even when their suits differ. Spades and clubs remain different suits even though both are shown in dark ink. A group can move together only when all selected cards share a suit and descend by one rank.

Preserve useful groups

Small same-suit sequences can provide flexible building blocks. A long mixed-suit build may require several intermediate destinations to dismantle. Before moving a segment, check where the cards below it could go next. Joining two matching segments often frees a column or exposes another card.

Find hidden cards

Here is what to know. Opening columns gives you more information for later decisions. The starting layout contains hidden cards beneath the exposed bottom cards. Moving the final exposed card away turns the next hidden card face up. The identities of those hidden cards are not shown by the Hint feature.

Create working space

The key details are straightforward. Spare columns can help separate suits that have become interleaved. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. Consider which temporary arrangement leaves you with the most useful follow-up move. Moving a whole column to another empty column changes its position without improving the layout by itself.

Think about Kings

Here is what to know. A King can move only to an empty column because no rank is higher. Moving a King into the only empty column can limit your ability to reorganize other cards. A completed King-to-Ace run leaves the tableau automatically once all thirteen cards are face up and aligned. A same-suit group starting with a King follows that same destination rule.

Deal carefully

Keep these details in mind. A new row can interrupt promising groups as well as create new connections. You must fill every empty column before the stock can be used. Use the visible layout to plan before dealing, while recognizing that hidden stock cards are unknown. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns.

Count complete runs

On this website, the following points apply. The win message appears only after the game has collected all eight valid runs. A descending mixed-suit run remains on the table until its suits can be separated. The counter advances whenever a full same-suit run is collected. Eight collected runs account for all 104 cards in the game.

Use the learning controls

Keep these details in mind. A random deal is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Undo restores the previous card arrangement, including automatic flips and completed runs. Replay begins the same shuffle again so you can compare a different opening plan. Hints list legal moves and do not solve the whole deal.
