Forty Thieves Solitaire: what to know before playing
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Take a moment to read the table. Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Two decks, ten columns, single-pass stock, no recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
