The solitaire table
Forty Thieves
Two decks. Ten columns. One pass through the stock.
Tap an exposed column card or the top waste card, then a column or foundation. Keyboard: Tab to a card, Enter or Space to select, Escape to clear.
How to play Forty Thieves
Two standard decks make 104 cards. Ten tableau columns begin with four face-up cards each; the remaining 64 cards form the stock. Build tableau columns downward by one rank in the same suit. Only the exposed end card moves, one card at a time: never move a run. Any single card may fill an empty column.
Build the eight foundations up by suit from Ace to King, with two foundations for each suit. An Ace can start either empty foundation of its suit. Move exposed tableau cards or the top waste card to a foundation. Foundation cards stay there. Put all 104 cards on the foundations to win.
Stock and waste
Draw one stock card at a time onto a single waste pile. Only the top waste card is playable; moving it exposes the card beneath it. There is no redeal: once the stock is exhausted, you cannot turn the waste over.
Scoring & controls
Score is the number of cards on the foundations, up to 104. Undo reverses one action, including a draw. Restart restores the same deal; New game shuffles again. Hint selects a suggested card and highlights legal destinations; it does not prove the deal is winnable. Practice finish is a prepared endgame, not a random deal. Random deals are not guaranteed winnable.
