How to play
Discard fifty-one cards as seventeen consecutive-rank alliances and leave exactly one card in the tableau.
- Sixteen tableau piles receive three cards and the last two receive two, while three alliance cells begin empty and there is no stock.
- Move one exposed tableau card into an empty cell. The second selected rank must be adjacent to the first with Ace-King wrap, and the third must complete a cyclic three-rank run; a valid trio discards automatically and reveals the source piles' next cards.
- Discard fifty-one cards as seventeen consecutive-rank alliances and leave exactly one card in the tableau.
Strategy tips
- Choose the first two ranks only after locating a visible card that can complete the three-rank cycle, and favor trios that expose another ready alliance.
- Three individually adjacent-looking cards may not form one consecutive cyclic set; verify the complete unordered rank trio before filling the third cell.
- Work backward from the intended single survivor and ensure the last six exposed cards can be partitioned into two valid wrapped three-rank alliances.
