- Pas de Deux opens from a versioned seeded position built for The waste reveals an exact twin from a second deck; only its matching grid card may exchange with another card in the same row or column. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Pas de Deux action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: The waste reveals an exact twin from a second deck; only its matching grid card may exchange with another card in the same row or column. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Pas de Deux plan is to preserve several legal continuations around The waste reveals an exact twin from a second deck; only its matching grid card may exchange with another card in the same row or column. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Pas de Deux error is to ignore the boundary rule that The waste reveals an exact twin from a second deck; only its matching grid card may exchange with another card in the same row or column. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Pas de Deux, recount the remaining obligations needed until the cards finish in the exact ordered tableau, run, or compressed layout required by this profile. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
