Aunt Mary Solitaire

This engaging solitaire game bears similarities to Yukon Solitaire but features several subtle differences that may necessitate adjusting your strategic approach. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt, with each pile receiving a specific number of cards: the first pile receives six cards, all face up; the second pile gets five face-up cards; this pattern continues until the sixth pile, which has just one face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile for future use. The primary goal is to transfer all cards onto four foundation piles, which are built upward from Ace to King, respecting suits. The tableau is managed by building downwards in alternating colors, allowing you to move sequences of cards according to these rules. Whenever a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be placed in that space. Additionally, you may deal one card from the stock to a tableau pile, adhering to the same building rules. Cards from the stock or tableau can also be moved to the foundation piles whenever applicable. Once the stock pile is exhausted, it cannot be reshuffled or redealt—meaning you must plan your moves carefully, making the most of each opportunity. With strategic planning and a bit of luck, players can aim to move all cards to the foundation piles. The more cards successfully placed in foundations, the higher your score, making each game a test of skill and foresight.
