Alhambra Solitaire
Instructions
Play this special solitaire card game where the cards are stacked on the waste pile
Description
This game is played with two decks of cards. First, 4 A in 4 suits and 4 K in 4 suits are dealt as the start of 8 foundation piles. The aim of the game is to put all the cards to the foundation piles. The foundation piles are built with cards of the same suit, where the piles starting with A are built up and the piles starting with K are built down. Below the foundation piles, 8 tableau piles are dealt, each pile has 4 cards. The remaining cards form the stock pile. Each time you flip a card from the stock pile to the waste pile, and you can move the waste card to the foundations if possible. For the tableau piles, no new cards can be stacked on them, you can move a tableau card to the foundation piles or to the waste pile, if the waste card is of the same suit and is one point higher or lower than the tableau card (K wraps to A). When the stock cards are used up, the waste cards can be turned to become the stock cards again, and you can do this twice in the game. The trick of this game is to plan strategically which tableau cards to stack to the waste pile. The more cards you can put to the foundation piles, the higher your score.
