Read before your next round of Forty Thieves Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Keep the active rule in mind. Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Two decks, ten columns, single-pass stock, no recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

An example before you play
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
