Aunt Mary Solitaire

This engaging solitaire game shares many features with Yukon Solitaire but introduces some subtle differences that may influence your strategic approach. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt, with each pile receiving a different number of face-up cards: the first pile starts with six cards, the second with five, continuing down to the last pile, which has just one face-up card. Remaining cards form the stock pile, which is a key component throughout the game. Your main goal is to transfer all cards into four foundation piles, built up from Ace to King by suit. The tableau is constructed downward in alternating colors, allowing the movement of complete sequences of cards between tableau piles according to specific rules. When a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be placed in that void. Additionally, you can draw and place one card from the stock onto a tableau pile, adhering to the same building rules, or directly move cards to the foundation. A crucial restriction is that once the stock pile is exhausted, no redeals are permitted—players must succeed with the initial deal. Success hinges on strategic planning, careful analysis, and a bit of luck, with the ultimate aim of moving all cards to their respective foundation piles. The more cards you manage to transfer, the higher your score, adding an extra layer of challenge and satisfaction to this compelling solitaire variation.
