Above and Below Solitaire

About Above and Below Solitaire

The game is played with 2 decks of cards. At first, a card is dealt face up as an "indicator". 4 foundation piles are to be built up from cards of the same suit, starting from cards one rank above the indicator, wrapping from A to K as necessary. Similarly, 4 other foundation piles are to be built down from cards of the same suit starting from cards one rank below the indicator and wrapping from K to A as necessary. The stock cards are dealt one by one to the waste pile. When a card with the same rank as the indicator shows up, you can directly move it to the indicator pile. You can move the top card in a waste pile to the foundations or one of the 4 tableau piles. The tableau piles are built up or down with cards of the same suit, each time you can move only one card from the tableau piles. When the stock cards are all dealt, you can collect the waste cards as the stock cards and have one more go. You can also move cards between foundation piles, this gives you slightly better chance in winning this difficult game. The more cards you move to the foundation piles, the higher your rank.

It leans fully into puzzle, so if that's your thing, it delivers. Whether you want a quick five-minute break or a longer session, it runs smoothly on just about any device.

Two quick pointers before you dive deep: When you are stuck, undo the last move and look at the board again instead of forcing a fix. Take a screenshot of a tricky board before experimenting, so you can always reset in your head.
