How to play
Success in Saxony requires that every fixed tableau card is released through the building reserves and single-card cells into the foundations. The game declares completion only after all interacting restrictions agree at the same time.
- The Saxony opening separates permanent constraints from player-controlled positions. Four left reserves build downward in suit, four right cells hold single cards, and the central tableau forbids all building. Its versioned seed recreates those same constraints locally while keeping unrevealed decisions out of the guide and board labels.
- Saxony treats the printed or dealt restrictions as hard constraints, not suggestions. Four left reserves build downward in suit, four right cells hold single cards, and the central tableau forbids all building. A move that contradicts the current state has no effect, including after the game has ended.

Strategy tips
- Route cards first through the four suit-building reserves and keep the four single cells for exact blockers, since the central tableau offers no internal rearrangement.
- Looking for a tableau-to-tableau build wastes moves and planning effort; fixed central cards leave only through reserves, cells, or foundations.
- Close Saxony by auditing the boundary cases first and the obvious placements second. The position is not done until every fixed tableau card is released through the building reserves and single-card cells into the foundations.
