How to play
You complete Hemispheres when every card reaches the required foundation under this profile's rank, suit, direction, and access constraints. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Hemispheres opens from a versioned seeded position built for Six red northern lanes build down while six black southern lanes build up; opposite-color singletons can swap hemispheres and the two foundation arcs run in opposite directions. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Hemispheres action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Six red northern lanes build down while six black southern lanes build up; opposite-color singletons can swap hemispheres and the two foundation arcs run in opposite directions. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Hemispheres plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Six red northern lanes build down while six black southern lanes build up; opposite-color singletons can swap hemispheres and the two foundation arcs run in opposite directions. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Hemispheres error is to ignore the boundary rule that Six red northern lanes build down while six black southern lanes build up; opposite-color singletons can swap hemispheres and the two foundation arcs run in opposite directions. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Hemispheres, recount the remaining obligations needed until every card reaches the required foundation under this profile's rank, suit, direction, and access constraints. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
