戦略・コツ
- Empty columns are everything. With no group moves and no redeals, an empty column is your only real maneuvering tool. Don't fill it with a King unless that King opens a long playable suite or unblocks a critical buried card.
- Don't bury low ranks. A 3♠ trapped under 8 cards is often a lost game, because the 4♠ can't reach the foundation until the 3♠ is dug out — and digging requires moves you can't afford. Promote Aces and 2s relentlessly when available.
- Watch the stock. The stock is dealt once with no redeal — every card that goes to the waste must either play immediately or be playable when uncovered. Track which Aces and 2s remain so you don't accidentally bury them.
- Don't promote middle ranks too eagerly. A 7♠ on the foundation might lock out a 6♠ that the next-deck 7♠ would have used as a bridge. Forty Thieves has 8 cards per rank per suit — promotion order matters more than in single-deck games.
- Try Josephine or Forty and Eight first. The Forty Thieves family has many named relaxations: Josephine allows group moves of properly sequenced cards, Forty and Eight adds a redeal, Miss Milligan changes tableau geometry. Pick the relaxation that fits how you want to learn, then graduate to classic.
起源と歴史
Named after Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napoleon's first wife. The variant makes Forty Thieves enjoyable for players who don't have St Helena's worth of free time.
