How to play Forty Thieves
A demanding two-deck game. Forty cards are dealt face up into ten columns of four; the other 64 form the stock. Move all 104 cards to the eight foundations, building up by suit from Ace to King.
- In the columns, build down in the same suit (8♥ on 9♥).
- Cards move one at a time. For convenience a suited run can be moved together when you have enough empty columns to do it card by card (2empty columns cards).
- Any card can go into an empty column.
- Click the stock to turn one card onto the waste. There is only one pass — no redeal.
Controls
Drag cards or tap a card to send it to the best destination. Aces and other safe cards move to the foundations automatically. Ctrl+Z/U undo, H hint, Space deal.
Tips
Only a few deals are won, so don't be discouraged. Empty columns are the key resource: create one early and don't fill it with a card that just sits there. Play from the tableau before turning the stock, and think twice before burying a low card of a suit.
