NOTES FROM THE TABLE

The full four-suit game

Here is what to know. 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. The objective remains eight same-suit sequences from King to Ace.

Two things to check

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

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

Keep these details in mind. 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. The starting layout contains hidden cards beneath the exposed bottom cards. Opening columns gives you more information for later decisions.

Create working space

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

Think about Kings

Here is what to know. A same-suit group starting with a King follows that same destination rule. A completed King-to-Ace run leaves the tableau automatically once all thirteen cards are face up and aligned. 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.

Deal carefully

Here is what to know. A new row can interrupt promising groups as well as create new connections. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. 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.

Count complete runs

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. Undo restores the previous card arrangement, including automatic flips and completed runs. A random deal is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. 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.
