Complete guide
Grandfather Solitaire uses the independently implemented PySolFC Grandfather v1 profile (R325). Grandfather Solitaire is a complete deterministic browser game built around twenty capacity-two work piles with automatic stock refill, paired Ace-up and King-down foundations, no inter-pile building, and one redeal.
Grandfather Solitaire begins with twenty small source piles, eight directional foundations, and a stock responsible for filling every vacancy until its first pass ends. The Grandfather Solitaire deal identity and PySolFC Grandfather v1 are stored together. Restarting Grandfather Solitaire reproduces this opening exactly.
During Grandfather Solitaire, you move an exposed source top directly to its legal suited foundation, trigger automatic stock refill of empty capacity, and redeal the unresolved layout once. The Grandfather Solitaire engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Grandfather Solitaire reaches a terminal result.
You complete Grandfather Solitaire when both decks reach four ascending and four descending foundations after the limited sources and single redeal are consumed. The full Grandfather Solitaire position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Grandfather Solitaire terminal rule. In the Grandfather Solitaire endgame, bring paired directions close around the middle ranks before the redeal, then empty sources in an order that exposes immediate continuations. Check every remaining Grandfather Solitaire action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
A reliable Grandfather Solitaire plan is to balance both foundation directions so each exposed middle rank has an exit and clear source piles that reveal several stock cards before the redeal. A Grandfather Solitaire hint is legal and deterministic. The next Grandfather Solitaire hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Grandfather Solitaire win. A costly Grandfather Solitaire mistake is to try to build between the twenty piles; they are sources only and accept cards solely through automatic stock refill. Undo supports studying that Grandfather Solitaire decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Grandfather Solitaire opening.
Grandfather Solitaire uses twenty capacity-two work piles with automatic stock refill, paired Ace-up and King-down foundations, no inter-pile building, and one redeal. That rule belongs to the Grandfather Solitaire engine and storage identity rather than a cosmetic preset.
Players cannot transfer cards between work piles; an empty slot is filled automatically from stock while cards remain there.
Grandfather Solitaire records its game ID, rules version, and seeded deal identity. Those Grandfather Solitaire values recreate the same opening without a server request.
