Aunt Mary Solitaire

This challenging solitaire game bears similarities to Yukon Solitaire but introduces some subtle differences that may require adjustments to your strategy. At the beginning of the game, six tableau piles are dealt, with six cards in the first pile (all face up), five in the second, and decreasing by one card each until the last pile has a single face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile, which is used to draw additional cards during play. Your primary objective is to transfer all cards to four foundation piles, built up from Ace to King within each suit. The tableau is constructed downward in alternating colors, allowing you to move sequences of cards between tableau piles under specific rules. If a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be moved into that space. You can also reveal and place one card from the stock onto a tableau pile, adhering to the same building rules. Moreover, cards from both the stock and tableau can be moved to the foundation piles when they follow the proper sequence. Once the stock is exhausted, no redeals are permitted—forcing you to strategize carefully. Success depends on a combination of skillful play and a bit of luck, as you aim to move as many cards as possible into the foundation piles. The higher the number of cards successfully transferred, the better your score. This variant offers a stimulating challenge for fans of solitaire seeking a strategic and rewarding experience.
