Aunt Mary Solitaire

This challenging solitaire game closely resembles Yukon Solitaire but introduces several small variations that can influence your strategy. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt—each with a different number of face-up cards: the first pile has six cards, the second five, continuing down to the last pile with just one card face up. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The goal is to transfer all cards to four foundation piles, each built sequentially from Ace to King within the same suit. Gameplay involves building tableau piles downward in alternating colors. You can move any sequence of face-up cards from one tableau pile and place it onto another, following these rules. If a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King can be moved into the empty space. Additionally, you can turn over one card from the stock and place it onto a tableau pile if it fits the building rule. Cards from the stock or tableau can also be moved to the foundation if they follow the sequence. Unlike some versions, once the stock is exhausted, no redeals are permitted—adding an extra layer of challenge. Success relies on strategic planning and a bit of luck to move all cards onto the foundation piles. The more cards you successfully transfer, the higher your score, making this a rewarding and intellectually stimulating variant of solitaire.
