Do you need any tips or tricks?
Tip #1
Turn over the first card of the deck before making any moves. This increases the game options so that you can choose the best move.
Tip #2
Try to uncover the hidden cards. If you have several options, always choose the column with the most hidden cards.
Tip #3
Move the Aces and Deuces to the foundations as soon as they are available. But do not move cards to the foundations that can help you move other cards from the playing columns or uncover hidden cards.
Tip #4
Try to make only the important moves, that is, those that allow you to make other moves or uncover hidden cards.
Tip #5
Do not empty a column if you do not have a King or a sequence headed by a King to occupy the empty space. This way you will keep more game options.
Tip #6
When you have a black King and a red King to occupy an empty column, study which is the best option. Choose the one that will allow you to play other cards that are blocking moves.
Tip #7
Do not hesitate to undo moves if you think there are better options. This will greatly increase your chances of victory.
