How to play
You complete Kings Solitaire when all segmented columns and cells are emptied into four suited foundations without needing a permanently closed column again. The full Kings Solitaire position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Kings Solitaire terminal rule.
- Kings Solitaire begins with one deck dealt into sequential columns split at Kings, eight empty cells, and four foundations waiting for suited Ace-to-King builds. The Kings Solitaire deal identity and PySolFC Kings v1 are stored together. Restarting Kings Solitaire reproduces this opening exactly.
- During Kings Solitaire, you build alternating colours downward, use one-card cells, move legal exposed packets, and promote suited cards while no card may refill a closed empty column. The Kings Solitaire engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Kings Solitaire reaches a terminal result.

Strategy tips
- A reliable Kings Solitaire plan is to treat every column clearance as irreversible and reserve cells for cards that directly expose an Ace or complete a foundation chain. A Kings Solitaire hint is legal and deterministic. The next Kings Solitaire hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Kings Solitaire win.
- A costly Kings Solitaire mistake is to clear a column for temporary space; unlike FreeCell, that location closes and cannot receive another card or sequence. Undo supports studying that Kings Solitaire decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Kings Solitaire opening.
- In the Kings Solitaire endgame, empty the shortest remaining column last enough to use its surface, then advance foundations in lockstep until cells release cleanly. Check every remaining Kings Solitaire action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
