How to play
Success in Perseverance requires that all cards reach the foundations within the initial deal and two deterministic regrouping redeals. The game declares completion only after all interacting restrictions agree at the same time.
- The Perseverance opening separates permanent constraints from player-controlled positions. Same-suit sequences may move between fans, followed by exactly two nonshuffling Cruel-style redeals that regroup remaining cards four at a time. Its versioned seed recreates those same constraints locally while keeping unrevealed decisions out of the guide and board labels.
- Perseverance treats the printed or dealt restrictions as hard constraints, not suggestions. Same-suit sequences may move between fans, followed by exactly two nonshuffling Cruel-style redeals that regroup remaining cards four at a time. A move that contradicts the current state has no effect, including after the game has ended.

Strategy tips
- Consolidate long same-suit descents before each Cruel regrouping and spend the two redeals only when several new foundation fronts will emerge together.
- Expecting a shuffle from the regroup preserves false hope: the four-card packets retain order, so a buried conflict returns unless changed before collection.
- Close Perseverance by auditing the boundary cases first and the obvious placements second. The position is not done until all cards reach the foundations within the initial deal and two deterministic regrouping redeals.
