You get two decks, ten tableau piles built in alternating colors, and a five-card reserve feeding your foundations, on a deal with a 20% win rate.

Mamy Susan Solitaire is a French twist on Forty Thieves Solitaire: the same two decks and ten tableau piles, but you build in alternating colors instead of matching suit, and a five-card reserve sits off to the side feeding the foundations. It's a medium game, with a 20% chance of winning, and your odds come down to skill and a bit of luck.

How to play Mamy Susan Solitaire

Layout:

8 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.

10 tableau piles: Build down, alternating colors. Only one card can be moved at a time. Any card can be used to fill a space. At the start of the game, each pile is given four cards face-up.

Stock: Click to turn over one card at a time to the waste pile. There are no redeals.

Waste: The top card can be played on the foundations or tableau.

Reserve: The top card can be played to the tableau or a foundation. This pile is dealt five cards at the start of the game.

Foundation:

There are eight foundation piles.

Any ace in the foundation may be transferred to any vacant pile.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 10 of hearts is a J of hearts. There can be no more than 13 cards in a pile.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Reserve:

There is one reserve pile, which starts with five cards. The top card is dealt face-up, while the rest are dealt face-down. No cards can be moved back into the reserve. The reserve's top card may be played to the tableau or a foundation.

Tableau:

Ten tableau piles hold four cards each, all dealt face-up.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the opposite color of the pile's current top card, so the only cards that fit on the 8 of clubs are the 7 of hearts and 7 of diamonds.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card are free to be played onto the foundation or any other tableau pile.

Any card can fill an empty slot in the tableau.

Stock and waste:

There is one waste pile, and the remaining cards make up the stock.

Click the stock to deal one card to the waste pile. You only get one pass through the stock.

The top card of the waste pile can be played to the tableau or a foundation.
