How to play
Extract the jewels and clear both decks to the eight suited foundations.
- Two decks form a thirteen-card jewel auxiliary, five one-card lid piles, eight one-card body piles, three empty reserves, one waste card, and a stock; eight foundations start empty.
- Foundations rise in suit from Ace. The eight body piles build downward in suit and a body vacancy may be filled freely from waste, reserve, or another body pile. Lid piles never accept cards, refill from the jewel stack when emptied, and cannot move into an empty body. The waste must be placed before drawing again, with no redeal.
- Extract the jewels and clear both decks to the eight suited foundations.
Strategy tips
- Prepare a nonempty body target before removing a lid card so each jewel refill remains usable and the casket keeps opening.
- Clearing a body pile can block a lid move, because lid cards are forbidden from starting an empty body column.
- After the jewel stack empties, use the three reserves to reorder the final suited descents before committing the last waste cards.
