Rules - 40 THIEVES SOLITAIRE

Forty Thieves Solitaire is laid out in 8 piles in ascending order from the aces to the kings. You must collect all the cards on the foundations before the cards from the reserve deck run out.

The reserve is used only if it is impossible to sort within the playing field. In Forty Thieves solitaire, you cannot redeal the played cards. All the cards that could not be used in the layout are covered with new cards and can be returned to the game only after sorting the previous ones.

The playing field consists of 10 sorting columns. From there you can move cards to the foundation piles or to adjacent sorting piles following the certain rules:

- cards are laid out by suit in descending order: for example, if the last one is a 10 of spades, you can put on it only a nine of spades;
