How to play
You complete Colonel 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.
- Colonel opens from a versioned seeded position built for A card in the three-by-twelve tableau is available only when the position directly below is empty, and a tableau move must carry it into a strictly higher row while preserving same-suit descent. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Colonel action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: A card in the three-by-twelve tableau is available only when the position directly below is empty, and a tableau move must carry it into a strictly higher row while preserving same-suit descent. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Colonel plan is to preserve several legal continuations around A card in the three-by-twelve tableau is available only when the position directly below is empty, and a tableau move must carry it into a strictly higher row while preserving same-suit descent. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Colonel error is to ignore the boundary rule that A card in the three-by-twelve tableau is available only when the position directly below is empty, and a tableau move must carry it into a strictly higher row while preserving same-suit descent. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Colonel, 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.
