What you need to achieve
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
From the start of a round
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
Put the rules into context
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
