The reserve is available in any order

Choose any of the 7 reserve cards. They are separate starting resources, not reusable free cells. A used space stays empty for the rest of the game.

Read the King Albert strategy guide

Empty columns make room to rearrange

Any card can enter an empty tableau column. Use that space to move obstructing cards individually and uncover useful ranks. Even an ordered sequence must be moved one card at a time.

Card controls

Select a card and click a highlighted destination, or drag it there. Double-click moves a card only when exactly one legal destination exists. Use Tab, Enter, and Space for the same choices by keyboard.

Undo restores the last position. Restart keeps the same variant and seed; a URL such as ?seed=123 reproduces the deal.
