Algerian Solitaire

2 decks. Difficult. No redeal.

Algerian Solitaire uses 104 cards (2 decks).

You have 8 tableau piles (with one card per pile) and 6 reserves (with four cards per pile).

An Ace and King of each suit are moved to the foundation piles during play as they become available.

The object of the game
Build the aces up in suit to kings, and the kings down in suit to aces.

The rules
The top cards of tableau piles and reserve piles are available to play.

You can build tableau piles up or down in suit. One card at a time can be moved from pile to pile. When any tableaus are empty you can fill the space with any single card.

You cannot move cards from one reserve pile to another one. Empty reserve piles cannot be filled.

When you have made all the moves initially available, click on the stock pile to deal two cards on each reserve pile. The last 8 cards are dealt to the tableau piles.

There is no redeal.
