How to play

Kingsdown Eights is complete once all stock-fed reserve cards are exposed and routed through the tableau into the completed foundations. The terminal check examines every relevant pile, cell, edge, room, and clue before awarding the result.

Eight tableau lanes sit beside eight four-card reserves; each stock action adds one card to four reserves, and reserve piles themselves cannot build. Restart reconstructs the same opening from the stored game ID, rules version, and seed.
  • A move in Kingsdown Eights is accepted only while it preserves every already-visible requirement. Eight tableau lanes sit beside eight four-card reserves; each stock action adds one card to four reserves, and reserve piles themselves cannot build.

Strategy tips

  • Keep several reserves capable of accepting the next four-card stock distribution, and transfer exposed reserve tops before another deal seals them under new cards.
  • Trying to build inside a reserve invents mobility that does not exist; every added stock card must be escaped through tableau or foundation access from the top.
  • At the end of Kingsdown Eights, recount the remaining destinations, marks, or connections before committing the narrowest move. The finish is accepted only when all stock-fed reserve cards are exposed and routed through the tableau into the completed foundations.
