How to play

Complete Leprechaun when every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions. The engine checks the full card partition and terminal rule rather than a visual approximation.

  • Leprechaun reconstructs its exact pile counts, concealed-card mask, seeded foundations and stock remainder from the route seed. The stock deals bounded rows of at most 8 cards under the profile's vacancy gates. Restart reproduces the same deal locally without a network request.
  • A move is accepted only when its source is exposed, its packet satisfies alternate down, and its destination satisfies alternate down plus the any vacancy gate. Invalid, stale, non-finite and post-terminal actions do not mutate state.
  • Complete Leprechaun when every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions. The engine checks the full card partition and terminal rule rather than a visual approximation.

Strategy tips

  • In Leprechaun, compare the next forced exposure with the mobility lost by the current move. Two decks lock four cards in each of eight paired reserves, conceal two and expose one card in eight alternating columns, and unlock each reserve when its paired foundation starts.
  • The most common Leprechaun error is moving a legal packet without checking its destination-specific size gate; the move may be legal in a neighbouring family while being rejected or strategically fatal in this exact profile.
  • Before the final commitment in Leprechaun, count every live card, locked source and legal destination. Confirm that every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions.

Questions players ask

Why is Leprechaun a separate game?

Leprechaun has its own engine ID, save namespace and rules fingerprint because Two decks lock four cards in each of eight paired reserves, conceal two and expose one card in eight alternating columns, and unlock each reserve when its paired foundation starts.

What should I check before moving in Leprechaun?

Check source exposure, packet integrity, the exact vacancy gate and the next forced stock or reserve consequence; then compare the next forced exposure with the mobility lost by the current move.

Is every Leprechaun deal guaranteed winnable?

No. The seed guarantees reproducibility and the engine guarantees legal transitions, but the catalog does not make an unsupported claim that every shuffled deal is solvable.
