Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to win this difficultcard game using no redeals from the stock (though you can configureunlimited redeals in the game preferences).

In Forty Thieves, careful planning comes into play. On the tableau, youbuild sequences by identical suit descending. The thing that makesthieves quite tricky is that you can only move the to card regardless ofwhether it's part of a valid sequence or not. Combine this with the factthat the default rules say that there are no redeals and you've got agame that you'll probably end up losing most of the time. You must likea challenge.

To play this game by hand, start by fully shuffling 2 decks of cards.You then will place 40 cards on the table. All 40 cards will be dealtface up. They will be placed in 10 columns with 4 cards each.

Unlike most solitaires, in thieves you may only move one card (thetopmost on a stack) at any given time. Valid moves are to place a lowercard onto a higher card of the same suit on the tableau (e.g. 7 ofdiamonds onto an 8 of diamonds), or to move a card to one of thefoundation piles. Much like Klondike, foundation piles are built up(ascending order) from Ace to King by the same suit. Given that you areplaying with 2 decks of cards, you will have 8 foundation piles in thisgame as opposed to Klondike's 4.

You win the game when you move every single card to the appropriatefoundation pile.

When you have a blank column/pile on the tableau, you may move any cardyou want to it. However, since only the top most card is playable, it'soften handy to move a King to a blank pile (assuming you have a Kingavailable to move). The reasoning behind this, is that you can thenstart building down from King to Ace on the tableau in that column. Ofcourse, this only works out well for you when you end up with afoundation pile that you can start moving all of those cards to. Forinstance, if you've built down from King to 6 of spades and then youhave a foundation pile that gets built up to the 5 of spades, you cannow move every single one of those cards in the 6 to King stack (one ata time though), and then you have a free column to play with.

Forty Thieves Rules

The goal of Forty Thieves Solitaire is to move all your cards to the upper right stacks, known as foundations. Foundations must be placed from Ace to King. Meaning: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K and have to be of the same suit.

Only one card can be moved at a time, whether from the stock pile, which is at the upper left hand side of your screen or the tableau pile, which are the 10 stacks located in the middle of your screen. What makes this game so unique is that it has 8 foundations, making this game a bit trickier than other forms of Solitaire.

Cards moved from the stock pile can either be moved directly to the corresponding foundation pile or somewhere within the tableau pile to help you access other cards that are located underneath. In order to add a card to the tableau pile, the card needs to be one point below of the card you are attempting to place on top of and of the same suit.

This game is very difficult to master. The trick is to try and get an empty column early on in the game. This gets things moving along and gives you better and quicker access to more cards.
