Alhambra Solitaire

This game, which is played with two decks of cards, is a fun and challenging way to test your strategic thinking abilities. To start the game, four Ace cards in four suits and four King cards in four suits are dealt as the beginning of eight foundation piles. The objective of the game is to move all the cards to the foundation piles.

The foundation piles are created by stacking cards of the same suit, where the piles starting with Ace are built up, and the piles starting with King are built down. Beneath the foundation piles, there are eight tableau piles dealt, each consisting of four cards. The remaining cards form the stock pile.

Every time a card is flipped from the stock pile to the waste pile, the player can move the waste card to the foundation piles if possible. However, no new cards can be added to the tableau piles. In addition, the player can move a tableau card to either the foundation piles or the waste pile, provided that the waste card is of the same suit and one point higher or lower than the tableau card (where King wraps around to Ace).

When the stock pile is used up, the waste pile can be turned and used as the stock pile twice. The key to winning this game is to plan strategically which tableau cards to stack to the waste pile, as the more cards you can put to the foundation piles, the higher your score.

Overall, this game is an excellent way to challenge yourself and test your strategic thinking skills. Its clear rules and straightforward mechanics make it a perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy a fun and engaging card game.
