Aunt Mary Solitaire

This challenging solitaire game bears similarities to Yukon Solitaire but introduces several subtle variations that may necessitate a different strategic approach. At the outset, six tableau piles are dealt, with the number of face-up cards decreasing incrementally—from six cards in the first pile, five in the second, and so forth, until the last pile contains just a single face-up card. The remaining cards form the stock pile. The primary goal is to transfer all cards into four foundation piles, each built upward from Ace to King, following their respective suits. The tableau is arranged with descending sequences built down in alternating colors, allowing for the movement of entire sequences from one pile to another, provided they adhere to the game’s rules. When a tableau pile becomes empty, only a King (K) can occupy that space. Players may uncover and move cards from the stock onto the tableau, following placement rules, or directly onto the foundations if permitted. Additionally, individual cards from the stock can be dealt onto tableau piles as part of gameplay. Once the stock is exhausted, no redeals are permitted, so strategic management of the remaining cards becomes crucial. With a blend of careful analysis, strategic planning, and a bit of luck, players can work toward maximizing the number of cards successfully transferred to the foundation piles. The more cards you manage to settle in the foundations, the higher your score, making this an engaging and skill-based variation of Yukon Solitaire.
