How to play

Use every stock and waste card on the twenty tower piles, leaving both stock and waste empty.

  • Two decks provide one face-up base card for each of twenty tower piles, one initial face-up waste card, and an eighty-three-card stock with no redeal.
  • Move only the current waste card, placing it on any tower top when the two values total fourteen. Suit is irrelevant, and the next stock card is exposed automatically after a successful placement.
  • Use every stock and waste card on the twenty tower piles, leaving both stock and waste empty.

Strategy tips

  • Compare the waste against all twenty visible tops and prefer a destination whose new top leaves several copies of its complement available later in the double deck.
  • This is not a pair-removal game: the tower's existing top remains underneath the waste card, and only the newly placed card controls the next match on that pile.
  • Track the final stock order against the exposed tower values, preserving at least one compatible top for each of the last few waste cards.
