How to play

You complete Buffalo Bill when all 104 cards leave the source piles and cells for four Ace-to-King plus four King-to-Ace suited foundations. The full Buffalo Bill position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Buffalo Bill terminal rule.

  • Buffalo Bill begins with the complete two-deck pack divided into twenty-six exposed source piles, eight empty cells, and eight Ace-up or King-down foundation targets. The Buffalo Bill deal identity and PySolFC Buffalo Bill v1 are stored together. Restarting Buffalo Bill reproduces this opening exactly.
  • During Buffalo Bill, you take only a source top or cell card, place it in an empty cell, or advance the matching suited foundation by exactly one rank. The Buffalo Bill engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Buffalo Bill reaches a terminal result.
  • You complete Buffalo Bill when all 104 cards leave the source piles and cells for four Ace-to-King plus four King-to-Ace suited foundations. The full Buffalo Bill position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Buffalo Bill terminal rule.

Strategy tips

  • A reliable Buffalo Bill plan is to use cells to expose ranks needed by both foundation directions and avoid occupying every buffer with cards that share the same future bottleneck. A Buffalo Bill hint is legal and deterministic. The next Buffalo Bill hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Buffalo Bill win.
  • A costly Buffalo Bill mistake is to search for tableau building that does not exist; source piles never accept cards and a cell holds only one exposed card. Undo supports studying that Buffalo Bill decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Buffalo Bill opening.
  • In the Buffalo Bill endgame, pair upward and downward progress around the middle ranks so each final source top has an immediate foundation destination. Check every remaining Buffalo Bill action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.

Questions players ask

What makes Buffalo Bill a separate game?

Which edge rule matters most in Buffalo Bill?
