Batsford Solitaire

The goal of Batsford is to move all 104 cards to the foundation piles. You achieve this by building sequences of cards up by the same suit that start with an Ace and end with a King. You win when the eight foundations each contain a complete sequence of thirteen cards.

• There are eight foundations.
• The foundations are initially empty.
• The foundations build up by the same suit.
• For example the 4♠ may move onto the 3♠ and the 4♦ may move onto the 3♦. Starting with the 4♦ the following sequence may build on top 5♦ 6♦ 7♦ 8♦.
• An Ace may move to an empty foundation.

• There are ten tableaus.
• Initially containing a Klondike layout.
• The tableaus build down by alternating color.
• For example the 7♠ may move onto the 8♦ and the 7♥ may move onto the 8♣. Starting with the 7♥ the following sequence may build on top 6♠ 5♦ 4♣.
• Sequences of cards built down by alternating color may move together as a group.
• A King may move to an empty tableau.

• There is one reserve.
• The reserve is initially empty.
• The reserve build with equal rank regardless of suit.
• For example the 6♠ may move onto the 6♥, 6♣ or the 6♦.
• The top card is movable.
• A King may move to an empty reserve.
• The reserve may hold no more than three cards.

• The stock deals one card face up to the waste when tapped.
• A single pass through the stock is permitted. Redeals are not possible. Once on the waste, cards remain until used in a valid move.

• There is one waste.
• The waste is initially empty.
• The top card is movable.
