How to play
You complete Frames 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.
- Frames opens from a versioned seeded position built for Twelve picture cells may release only into a frame pile sharing their row or column and then refill automatically; only the fourteen frame piles can feed the four up-then-down twenty-six-card suit foundations. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Frames action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Twelve picture cells may release only into a frame pile sharing their row or column and then refill automatically; only the fourteen frame piles can feed the four up-then-down twenty-six-card suit foundations. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Frames plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Twelve picture cells may release only into a frame pile sharing their row or column and then refill automatically; only the fourteen frame piles can feed the four up-then-down twenty-six-card suit foundations. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Frames error is to ignore the boundary rule that Twelve picture cells may release only into a frame pile sharing their row or column and then refill automatically; only the fourteen frame piles can feed the four up-then-down twenty-six-card suit foundations. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Frames, 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.
