Tips

Watch out for higher cards underneath lower cards of the same suit in a fan.

 

Note that while you can build fans up, doing so can make it very difficult to get the cards out to the foundations!

 

Build up only when there is no other way to extract a card.

 

This game can usually be won with best play.
