How to play
You complete Castle of Indolence when every card reaches the foundation target while the profile's access, packet, and sequence restrictions remain satisfied. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Castle of Indolence opens from a versioned seeded position built for Four thirteen-card top-only reserves flank eight rank-descending tableau piles and feed eight rank-only Ace foundations, so reserve exposure and column space form independent bottlenecks. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Castle of Indolence action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Four thirteen-card top-only reserves flank eight rank-descending tableau piles and feed eight rank-only Ace foundations, so reserve exposure and column space form independent bottlenecks. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Castle of Indolence plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Four thirteen-card top-only reserves flank eight rank-descending tableau piles and feed eight rank-only Ace foundations, so reserve exposure and column space form independent bottlenecks. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Castle of Indolence error is to ignore the boundary rule that Four thirteen-card top-only reserves flank eight rank-descending tableau piles and feed eight rank-only Ace foundations, so reserve exposure and column space form independent bottlenecks. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Castle of Indolence, recount the remaining obligations needed until every card reaches the foundation target while the profile's access, packet, and sequence restrictions remain satisfied. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
