How to play
You complete Royal Family when all cards complete eight suited King-to-Ace foundations before the second and final redeal is exhausted. The full Royal Family position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Royal Family terminal rule.
- Royal Family begins with two decks distributed into face-up working piles, eight empty King-start foundations, and two ordered reshuffles recorded in state. The Royal Family deal identity and PySolFC Royal Family v1 are stored together. Restarting Royal Family reproduces this opening exactly.
- During Royal Family, you build one rank up or down in alternating colours, move valid packets, fill empties freely, send suited cards downward from King, or redeal twice. The Royal Family engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Royal Family reaches a terminal result.

Strategy tips
- A reliable Royal Family plan is to use bidirectional tableau links to expose Kings early and retain empty piles for reversing a sequence that blocks its foundation suit. A Royal Family hint is legal and deterministic. The next Royal Family hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Royal Family win.
- A costly Royal Family mistake is to advance an Ace-start foundation out of habit; Royal Family foundations begin with Kings and descend without wrap. Undo supports studying that Royal Family decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Royal Family opening.
- In the Royal Family endgame, preserve alternating connectors around low ranks and schedule the last redeal only after all available King-down moves are consumed. Check every remaining Royal Family action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
