Goal of the game
Move all 104 cards (two complete decks) onto the eight foundations by suit. Four foundations build up from Ace to King; four build down from King to Ace. The game is won when each suit's up-built and down-built foundations have absorbed all cards — typically meeting around the 7-8 boundary of every suit.
Setup
Shuffle two standard 52-card decks together (104 cards). Deal eight columns of six face-up cards each (48 cards) for the tableau. Deal six face-up cards into a single row of reserve piles below or beside the tableau. The remaining 50 cards form the stock pile, dealt one card at a time onto a face-up waste pile. Place the eight foundations — one Ace and one King of each suit — above the tableau as starting anchors (or build them as Aces and Kings become available, depending on app convention).
Правила Algerian Patience
- Две колоды (104 карты): 8 фундаментов - 4 от Туза до Короля, 4 от Короля до Туза.
- 8 колонок; строить можно по убыванию в той же масти или по возрастанию в той же масти.
- Перемещается только верхняя карта колонки.
- Из колоды берётся по одной карте.
- Цель - заполнить все фундаменты.
Win and loss conditions
You win when all 104 cards have been built onto the eight foundations and no cards remain in the tableau, reserves, stock, or waste. You lose when no legal move can advance any foundation and all stock cards have been exhausted. The Solitaire Royal undo button lets you backtrack costly moves; you can also restart the deal or shuffle a new one. Deals are randomly shuffled and tuned to be solvable.
Стратегия и советы
- Отслеживайте оба направления фундаментов - следите, какой идёт быстрее.
- Не путайте направления (возрастание/убывание) в разных колонках.
- Берегите карты из колоды для разблокировки.
Algerian Patience is widely believed to have spread from French and North African colonial parlour traditions in the late 19th century, hence its name. It appears in early 20th-century European patience anthologies under variants of "La Patience Algérienne." The same-suit-only tableau and bidirectional foundations are unusually strict for the era, which is why the game gained a reputation as a connoisseur's patience — slower than Klondike, harder than FreeCell, and built for an afternoon of careful play rather than a quick session.
