🃏 How to Play Solitaire

Game Layout

Here's how the game is set up:

• [Stock] – The draw pile in the top-left corner

• [Waste] – Cards drawn from the stock go here

• [Foundation Piles] – Four piles (♠️ ♥️ ♣️ ♦️) to build from Ace to King

• [Tableau] – Seven columns of cards, with some facedown

📍 Key Areas

• Stock Pile: Click to draw cards when you're stuck

• Waste Pile: Shows the top card from the stock

• Foundation Piles: Build up by suit, from Ace to King

• Tableau: The main playing area – arrange cards in descending order and alternating colors

📜 Game Rules

1. Tableau Rules

• Cards must alternate in color (e.g., red, black, red...)

• Cards must go in descending order (King → Queen → Jack → …)

• Only Kings can be placed in empty tableau columns

• You can move sequences of cards if they follow descending order and color alternation

2. Foundation Rules

• Build each pile by suit, starting from Ace → King

• Cards must be placed in the correct order and suit

• Complete all four foundation piles to win the game 🎉

3. Stock Rules

• Click the stock to draw new cards into the waste pile

• Cycle through the stock multiple times if needed

• Use drawn cards wisely to unlock new moves

🧠 Strategy Tips

Basic Strategies

• Prioritize uncovering face-down cards

• Create empty tableau columns – they're great for repositioning

• Build up the foundations evenly to avoid blocking options

• Watch your red/black balance to keep flexibility

Advanced Moves

• Plan several moves ahead—don’t rush!

• Avoid moving cards to the foundation too early if they help in the tableau

• Use empty spaces to reorganize long sequences

• Always keep an eye out for chances to free buried cards
