The full four-suit game

On this website, the following points apply. Four suits adds more suit conflicts without changing the basic descending-rank rule. Spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds each contain two copies of every rank. This game uses two complete decks for a total of 104 cards. The objective remains eight same-suit sequences from King to Ace.

Two things to check

Keep these details in mind. A group can move together only when all selected cards share a suit and descend by one rank. You can place an exposed card on a card exactly one rank higher even when their suits differ. Spades and clubs remain different suits even though both are shown in dark ink. Matching colors are not enough to create a movable sequence.

Build matching segments

The key details are straightforward. Before moving a segment, check where the cards below it could go next. Small same-suit sequences can provide flexible building blocks. Joining two matching segments often frees a column or exposes another card. A long mixed-suit build may require several intermediate destinations to dismantle.

Open the tableau

Here is what to know. The starting layout contains hidden cards beneath the exposed bottom cards. Opening columns gives you more information for later decisions. Moving the final exposed card away turns the next hidden card face up. The identities of those hidden cards are not shown by the Hint feature.

Create working space

Here is what to know. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. Consider which temporary arrangement leaves you with the most useful follow-up move. Spare columns can help separate suits that have become interleaved. Moving a whole column to another empty column changes its position without improving the layout by itself.

Plan a long sequence

Here is what to know. Moving a King into the only empty column can limit your ability to reorganize other cards. A King can move only to an empty column because no rank is higher. A same-suit group starting with a King follows that same destination rule. A completed King-to-Ace run leaves the tableau automatically once all thirteen cards are face up and aligned.

Prepare for the stock

The key details are straightforward. A new row can interrupt promising groups as well as create new connections. You must fill every empty column before the stock can be used. Use the visible layout to plan before dealing, while recognizing that hidden stock cards are unknown. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns.

Track the finish

Here is what to know. The win message appears only after the game has collected all eight valid runs. A descending mixed-suit run remains on the table until its suits can be separated. The counter advances whenever a full same-suit run is collected. Eight collected runs account for all 104 cards in the game.

Practice a difficult deal

Here is what to know. Hints list legal moves and do not solve the whole deal. Undo restores the previous card arrangement, including automatic flips and completed runs. Replay begins the same shuffle again so you can compare a different opening plan. A random deal is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
