Aunt Mary Solitaire

This challenging solitaire card game shares similarities with Yukon Solitaire but features several subtle variations that may influence your strategic approach. At the start of each game, six tableau piles are dealt. The first pile receives all six cards face up, the second pile five face up cards, continuing this pattern until the sixth pile, which has just one face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The primary goal is to transfer all cards into four foundation piles, each built up from Ace to King in the same suit. Tableau piles are constructed downward, alternating colors, and you can move sequences of cards according to this rule—placing them onto other tableau piles or on empty spots, which can only be filled with Kings if the pile is empty. Additionally, you may draw one card at a time from the stock and place it onto a tableau pile, following the same building rules. Cards can also be moved to the foundation piles whenever possible, provided they adhere to the suit and sequence requirements. Once the stock is exhausted, no further redeals are permitted, adding a layer of difficulty. Success depends on strategic planning and a bit of luck, as careful analysis is essential to uncovering the optimal moves. The more cards you successfully move to the foundation piles, the higher your score, making each game a test of patience and tactical skill.
