🏺 Thieves of Egypt Solitaire

Thieves of Egypt is a captivating version of the classic Forty Thieves Solitaire game. It challenges your strategic thinking and patience. Here's how to play:

🎯 Objective
The goal is to build 8 foundation piles (one for each suit: ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠) in ascending order, from Ace to King.

📜 Rules & Gameplay

  • The Tableau consists of 10 columns:

    • The first column starts with 1 card, the second with 2, and so on up to 10 cards in the last column.
    • Only the top card of each pile is face up.

  • Building on the Tableau:

    • Build cards in descending order and in alternating colors (e.g., Red 9 on Black 10).
    • You can move a single card or a correctly ordered sequence of cards.
    • Only Kings or valid descending sequences starting with a King can be placed in an empty column.

  • The Stock Pile:

    • Click the stock to deal one card at a time to the waste pile.
    • The waste pile's top card is playable onto the tableau or foundation.

  • The Foundation Piles:

    • Build each foundation from Ace to King in the same suit.
    • Cards from the tableau or waste pile can be moved to the foundation.

🧠 Thieves of Egypt is more strategic than classic Solitaire, as it requires planning moves ahead and carefully managing the tableau space.
