Australian Patience Game Introduction and Strategy

Game Introduction:

Australian Patience is a classic solitaire card game, often referred to as "Canfield" or "Klondike." The objective of the game is to move all cards from the foundation piles to the four foundation piles at the top of the screen. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, and the deck is initially shuffled and dealt into a layout of piles, including the foundation piles, the tableau piles, and the stock pile.

Gameplay:

1. Foundations: The top four piles are the foundation piles, where the goal is to build up in suit from Ace to King.

2. Tableau Piles: The remaining cards are dealt into tableau piles, with the top card of each pile face up.

3. Stock Pile: The stock pile contains the remaining cards that have not been dealt into the tableau piles.

4. Building: You can build tableau piles down in rank and suit, regardless of the color.

5. Redeals: You can only move cards from the stock pile to the foundation piles once a card has been moved from the stock pile to the tableau piles.

Strategy:

1. Start with the Stock Pile: Always try to move cards from the stock pile to the tableau piles to maximize your options.

2. Use Empty Spaces: When a tableau pile is empty, you can use any King from the foundation piles or a sequence of cards in descending order to fill it.

3. Prioritize Building the Foundations: Focus on building the foundation piles as quickly as possible to free up cards for the tableau piles.

4. Avoid Excess Moves: Try to minimize the number of moves you make, as each move may reduce the options available to you.

5. Plan Ahead: Look ahead to see where you can move cards in the future to make your moves more strategic.
