How to play

Complete Zeus when every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions. The engine checks the full card partition and terminal rule rather than a visual approximation.

  • Zeus reconstructs its exact pile counts, concealed-card mask, seeded foundations and stock remainder from the route seed. The stock deals bounded rows of at most 9 cards under the profile's vacancy gates. Restart reproduces the same deal locally without a network request.
  • A move is accepted only when its source is exposed, its packet satisfies suit down by two, and its destination satisfies suit down by two plus the queen or king vacancy gate. Invalid, stale, non-finite and post-terminal actions do not mutate state.
  • Complete Zeus when every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions. The engine checks the full card partition and terminal rule rather than a visual approximation.

Strategy tips

  • In Zeus, treat every vacancy, cell and output-only reserve as a limited planning resource. Two decks seed paired odd and even suit rails, build tableau packets downward by two in suit and accept only Queens or Kings in vacancies while nine-card stock rows continue.
  • The most common Zeus error is using an exposed reserve as though it accepted cards back; the move may be legal in a neighbouring family while being rejected or strategically fatal in this exact profile.
  • Before the final commitment in Zeus, count every live card, locked source and legal destination. Confirm that every card reaches a legal foundation under its suit, base, direction, capacity and source restrictions.

Questions players ask

Why is Zeus a separate game?

Zeus has its own engine ID, save namespace and rules fingerprint because Two decks seed paired odd and even suit rails, build tableau packets downward by two in suit and accept only Queens or Kings in vacancies while nine-card stock rows continue.

What should I check before moving in Zeus?

Check source exposure, packet integrity, the exact vacancy gate and the next forced stock or reserve consequence; then treat every vacancy, cell and output-only reserve as a limited planning resource.

Is every Zeus deal guaranteed winnable?

No. The seed guarantees reproducibility and the engine guarantees legal transitions, but the catalog does not make an unsupported claim that every shuffled deal is solvable.
