Auld Lang Syne

You complete Auld Lang Syne when the four foundations each climb from Ace through King and collectively absorb the whole deck despite ignoring suit. The full Auld Lang Syne position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Auld Lang Syne terminal rule.

How to play

You complete Auld Lang Syne when the four foundations each climb from Ace through King and collectively absorb the whole deck despite ignoring suit. The full Auld Lang Syne position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Auld Lang Syne terminal rule.

  • Auld Lang Syne begins with the four Aces already on foundations, four empty source piles, and forty-eight stock cards ordered for twelve row deals. The Auld Lang Syne deal identity and PySolFC Auld Lang Syne v1 are stored together. Restarting Auld Lang Syne reproduces this opening exactly.
  • During Auld Lang Syne, you advance any foundation with the next rank regardless of suit from an exposed source top, or deal one new card onto each source pile. The Auld Lang Syne engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Auld Lang Syne reaches a terminal result.

Strategy tips

  • A reliable Auld Lang Syne plan is to spread equal next ranks across different foundations and exhaust every exposed move before covering the four source tops with a new row. A Auld Lang Syne hint is legal and deterministic. The next Auld Lang Syne hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Auld Lang Syne win.
  • A costly Auld Lang Syne mistake is to search for tableau transfers or suited foundation lanes; source piles never build and any next-rank card may continue any foundation. Undo supports studying that Auld Lang Syne decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Auld Lang Syne opening.
  • In the Auld Lang Syne endgame, assign the final high ranks so each foundation reaches King once, then deal only when all four current tops are unusable. Check every remaining Auld Lang Syne action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
