Aunt Mary Solitaire

This challenging solitaire card game closely resembles Yukon Solitaire but introduces subtle variations that may require adjusting your strategy. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt, with each pile containing six cards— the first pile has all six face-up cards, the second pile five face-up cards, continuing down to the last pile with just one face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile. Your goal is to transfer all cards to four foundation piles, built ascending from Ace to King within each suit. The tableau is constructed downward by alternating colors, allowing you to move sequences of cards as long as they follow the descending and color-alternation rules. You can move any valid sequence to another tableau pile, and if a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be placed there. Additionally, you can draw one card at a time from the stock and place it onto a tableau pile following the game rules. Cards from the stock or tableau can also be moved to the foundation when appropriate. Unlike some variations, once the stock is depleted, no redeals are permitted; the game proceeds with the remaining cards only. With strategic planning and a bit of luck, you’ll be able to move all cards to the foundation piles. Successfully doing so increases your score, especially when you manage to transfer more cards to the foundations. This game offers an engaging twist on Yukon Solitaire, challenging players to think carefully and adapt their tactics to succeed.
