Aunt Mary Solitaire

This engaging solitaire game closely resembles Yukon Solitaire but introduces subtle variations that may necessitate adjustments to your strategy. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt, each beginning with a specific number of face-up cards: the first pile has six cards, the second five, and so forth, until the sixth pile has just one face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile for drawing. The primary goal is to transfer all cards onto four foundation piles, built up sequentially from Ace to King within each suit. The tableau is constructed downward by alternating colors, allowing the movement of any contiguous sequence of cards onto another tableau pile, provided the sequence follows the correct descending and alternating color order. When a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be placed there. Players can draw one face-up card at a time from the stock pile, placing it onto a tableau pile in accordance with the rules. Additionally, cards from the stock or tableau can be moved to the foundation piles if they meet the required sequences. Importantly, unlike some variations, once the stock is exhausted, no redeals are permitted. With careful planning, strategic moves, and a bit of luck, players can aim to move all cards into the foundation piles. Successfully transferring more cards to the foundations not only clears the tableau but also results in a higher score, making this challenging solitaire game a rewarding experience for those who enjoy depth and strategic thinking similar to Yukon Solitaire.
