How to play

Complete eight same-suit Ace-to-King foundations with all 104 cards.

  • Ten tableau columns contain one, two, three, four, five, five, four, three, two, and one cards, with twenty inner cards hidden and one exposed card on every column. Six exposed cards form one ordered Devil's Six pile and sixty-eight cards remain in the stock.
  • Build and move descending alternating-color sequences, with only a King-led sequence entering an empty column. The top Devil's Six card may move only to a same-suit Ace-to-King foundation. A stock click deals to each tableau column except a column that is already one complete descending alternating-color sequence beginning with a King; there is no redeal.
  • Complete eight same-suit Ace-to-King foundations with all 104 cards.

Strategy tips

  • Expose low foundation cards before they are buried by a row deal and check the Devil's Six top whenever a suit foundation advances.
  • A Devil's Six card cannot enter the tableau, and stock deals skip any whole King-led alternating sequence even if it contains fewer than thirteen cards.
  • Protect finished King-led tableau sequences from new stock cards while clearing the Devil's Six and opening the last hidden center cards.
