Cruel Solitaire

Rules

Object:

The object of Cruel Solitaire is to move all cards to the foundation piles.

Layout:

Tableau - twelve piles with 4 cards each.

Stock at top left. Since all remaining cards are always dealt to the tableau, it will always be empty.

Foundation - rightmost piles in the top row; the Aces are placed here upon the start of the game.

Play:

Build foundations up in suit and tableau piles down in suit.

If no moves are available, (or you just feel like it), click on the Stock for a redeal. Redeals are unlimited, and are accomplished by placing the tableau piles on top of each other in order, starting from the last pile. Then the deck is turned over and redealt. If no moves are made, redealing will not alter the arrangement of the cards.

The game is lost if no move is possible immediately after a redeal.

Controls:

Click a card to select it, click on a pile to move the selected card.

Double-click a card to automatically move it to the Foundation.

Scoring:

Each card placed in the foundation piles scores one point.

Maximum score is 48.

Chance of Winning:

1 in 10 games with skill and luck.
