Rules and objective
- Ten face-up columns start with 8, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 cards. There is no stock.
- Build downward by rank, regardless of suit or color.
- A single card can move freely; a group moves only when it is a descending sequence in one suit.
- Any card or valid group can fill an empty column.
- A complete same-suit King-to-Ace run moves automatically to a finished slot and stays there. Finish all four suits to win.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
First priority
Build same-suit sequences when possible. Empty columns give you space to separate mixed suits and reconnect them.
Separate mixed suits
You can build down regardless of suit, but only a same-suit run moves as a group. Use an empty column to split a mixed stack.
Work toward complete runs
Every finished King-to-Ace suit leaves the table. A partial run that connects to its missing ranks is more valuable than an isolated long stack.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move a mixed-suit run?
Not as a group. Rearrange its cards until you have an ordered run in one suit.
Can every deal be won?
Deals are randomly shuffled, so a win is not guaranteed. Use undo to explore another approach, restart the same deal, or try a new shuffle.
