Solitaire Napoleon

The goal is to clear the entire tableau by sorting all cards into foundation piles, building up by suit from Ace to King. Once all cards are placed there, you win the hand.

The game uses a single standard 52-card deck, just like classic solitaire games. The twist lies in the starting layout rather than the deck size.

In most versions, you can only move a single card unless you are placing it into an empty tableau column. Whole runs can be relocated when the destination is an empty column or a higher-ranking card of the opposite color.

You can draw from the stock pile, flipping cards into a waste pile one by one. This gives you access to new cards, but it also changes the timing of your strategy, so use it wisely.

Many players find it slightly more challenging because the unusual tableau creates fewer obvious openings. The difficulty also depends on the shuffle, so some hands are easier than others.

Most versions include an undo button to revert your last move and a hint feature that suggests a legal play. These tools help you learn optimal strategies without compromising the challenge.
