|
| For example, suppose the first 3 stacks
| |
| | A GENERAL PROCEDURE TO WIN CRUEL
|
| appear like this:
| |
| | SOLITAIRE...
|
| Stack-A: 4 Cards
| |
| | Here is a procedure that will help you to
|
| Stack-B: 4 Cards
| |
| | win cruel solitaire. It isn't perfect,
|
| Stack-C: 5 Cards with a 5 of Diamonds on
| |
| | and you'll probably make your own
|
| top.
| |
| | alterations to it as you get better at
|
| All the stacks before Stack-C have 4
| |
| | the game, but it shows how to carefully
|
| cards in them, so after a redeal, the 5
| |
| | play cruel solitaire to avoid blockages.
|
| of Diamonds will still be at the top of
| |
| | A - Find the rightmost card that can go
|
| Stack-C.
| |
| | onto the talon.
|
| This is the same no matter how many cards
| |
| | B - Do all the moves to the right of that
|
| are in Stack-C. So if the stacks are like
| |
| | card that you can, starting with highest
|
| this:
| |
| | rank ones
|
| Stack-A: 4 Cards
| |
| | C - Redeal
|
| Stack-B: 4 Cards
| |
| | D - Go back to A
|
| Stack-C: 2 Cards with a 5 of Diamonds on
| |
| | Once there are no more moves that can be
|
| top.
| |
| | made to the right of the card, then move
|
| Then the 5 of Diamonds will still be on
| |
| | the card in the stack to the foundation,
|
| top of Stack-C after a talon redeal.
| |
| | and then redeal, and go back to A.
|
| But if an earlier stack does not have 4
| |
| | If no cards can play, then order all the
|
| cards in it, then the card will NOT stay
| |
| | cards you can, starting with the highest
|
| on top after a redeal.
| |
| | rank ones, and then redeal.
|
| So if the stacks are like this:
| |
| | That's it!
|
| Stack-A: 5 Cards
| |
| | You can definitely tweak this procedure
|
| Stack-B: 4 Cards
| |
| | to make it better, but I've tried to keep
|
| Stack-C: 2 Cards with a 5 of Diamonds on
| |
| | it simple here, and it should allow you
|
| top.
| |
| | to play cruel solitaire a lot better than
|
| Then the 5 of Diamonds will NOT be on top
| |
| | before. Have fun!
