Aunt Mary Solitaire

This engaging solitaire game closely resembles Yukon Solitaire but introduces some subtle variations that may influence your strategic approach. At the beginning of each game, six tableau piles are dealt with a specific arrangement: the first pile contains six face-up cards, the second has five face-up cards, continuing in this pattern until the sixth pile, which has just one face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The main goal is to transfer all cards to four foundation piles, which are built ascending from Ace to King within each suit. Gameplay involves building tableau piles downward in alternating colors, allowing you to move sequences of cards according to this rule. When you have a sequence in one tableau pile, you can transfer it to another tableau pile if it matches the descending order and alternating color criteria. An empty tableau space can only be filled with a King, maintaining the game’s strategic depth. Additionally, you have the option to draw a card from the stock and place it onto a tableau pile following the rules, or directly onto a foundation pile if appropriate. Cards from the stock or tableau can be moved to the foundation when they follow the sequence rules. Once the stock is depleted, it cannot be replenished—re-deals are not permitted, so strategic planning is essential to maximize your chances of success. With careful analysis, a bit of luck, and thoughtful moves, you can aim to transfer every card to the foundation piles. The more cards you successfully move to foundations, the higher your score, making this a challenging and rewarding solitaire variation.
