This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on this game, I actually understand it so thank you! I also never knew that shuffling 7 times created the max amount of randomness, so I’ve learned a lot today (:
In minute 10:08 can't you take the 5 of clubs and place it in the first column below the 6 of diamonds so you can take the 6 of hearts to the fundation? Or is it forbidden to move only one card?
This is a lucid explanation. Emphasis on the circular placing should be made more times.. Going down, after three, deuce, ace, the following card should be a king, then queen, jack,... Going up, after jack, queen, king, the next should be ace, deuce, three... is my understanding.
I believe it is. If you read up on this game it's fascinating to think that casinos hosted this game and people would wager on its outcome. Crazy, huh?
At the start of the game, there are 34 cards in the stock/draw pile. That is not divisible by three and the last "group" of cards in the draw pile contains only one card. This abnormality drives me nuts so I deal 14 cards in the reserve pile on the initial setup.
5:15 - Can't the black 3 be played on the red 4? That's how it works when I play Canfield online. Does that not apply when playing with a real deck of cards?
Unfortunately no. The red 4 is the top of the 13 card reserve or "stock." You only draw from this pile and play on foundations or tableau. You don't add cards to the reserve. Hope that clarification helps! Enjoy.
No. Unfortunately the sequence is not circular. Kings form the "top" of the rank and the Ace is the "bottom" of the rank. Only queens of opposite color can be placed on kings in the tableau.
Great tutorial. When you are drawing cards and have less than three in the pile remaining, do you just draw however many you have and then are able to play the top one? In other words, if I only have two cards left, do I just draw those two and can play the top one if possible? Or, do I have to just restart the whole draw pile because I have less than three cards remaining to draw?
Foundations often start with a card that is not Ace or king and the goal is to build them up to 13 cards. Therefore, the foundations are circular. The Tableau builds down but is not circular meaning the run ends with Ace. Hope that helps, and thanks for writing!
Foundations are to be built up until they reach 13 cards, so these piles do loop. The tableau builds down in alternate colors but ends with ace. Thanks for writing!
Could you not have moved the 5 of clubs onto the six of diamonds at the end and freed up the 6 of hearts to go onto the hearts foundation? Or are you only allowed to move whole stacks?
Great question. I play the game where only whole piles can be moved to build on a neighboring tableau piles. But some play the variety where an individual top card can move to other tableau piles (as you've suggested). This variety offers another tool and would help advance play. Have fun!

Loved the Heart Foundation...especially Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. Well, AND Bret “The Hitman” Hart.
Can't the red Ace go on the black Two in the foundation at 4:53?
You are correct! Very good eye. I must have missed that move. I'd better practice some more!
@@SolitaireWithTheCardGuy If only my eyes were that good when I play the game!

Excellent idea. Yes you can move tableau cards to other piles and free up the card below. Good catch!
Thank you! I couldn’t find a better explanation ㅠㅠ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Great game, i’ll be sure to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it!

I caught that Queen of diamonds suddenly popping up on the top of the redeal at 7:45!! 😂🤣
I find that I can't make any moves after the 5th-7th redeal, I assume winning this games is extremely low probability?
I believe it is. If you read up on this game it's fascinating to think that casinos hosted this game and people would wager on its outcome. Crazy, huh?
what happens if there are no more cards in the reserve?
When the 13-card stock or reserve is depleted, tableau spaces are filled from waste pile or cards in hand. Good luck!

Great idea. I too love symmetry and uniformity, so hear hear!
Thanks! I would have NEVER thought of this!

Thanks so much for your response. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving! :-)
What happen if the foundation is a number?
When building down on the tableau, can you put a king on an ace of opposite color?
No. Unfortunately the sequence is not circular. Kings form the "top" of the rank and the Ace is the "bottom" of the rank. Only queens of opposite color can be placed on kings in the tableau.

Draw the cards in groups of three. If the final draw is 2 or less, then play that top card. Redeal without limit. Enjoy!
@@SolitaireWithTheCardGuy Thanks!
anything is funner than klondike which is the bunny slopes
Glad you like it! Be sure to try accordion, osmosis or 40 thieves for other challenging games. Thanks for writing!
could you do intellegence next?
So is it only the foundation card play thats circular ? The tableau isnt? So say I had a Ace of hearts i can’t put a black king on there ?

Does the sequence loop around in the tableau like it does in the top row? Example 3♥️, 2♣️, A♦️, K♠️, Q♥️, etc

Tnx for the tutorial👍
Is the reserve made by taking the top 13 cards off all at once or by taking them off one by one, reversing the order?
Either way is acceptable in my book provided the deck has been well shuffled.
10:05 you could’ve moved the 5 of clubs to the 6 of diamonds and would have been able to move the 6 of hearts
So true! Great eye!
when u can’t do anything else??

What happens when the reserve pile is gone?
Redealing in groups of three may be done without limit until the game is won or comes to a standstill. Thanks for writing and enjoy the game!
