Above and Below Solitaire
Control
Build card piles up or down in suits.
description
The game uses two standard decks. Begin by revealing a face-up indicator card. Four foundation piles must ascend in the same suit, starting from the rank immediately above the indicator (wrapping from Ace to King as needed). Another four foundation piles descend in the same suit, beginning one rank below the indicator (wrapping King to Ace). Deal stock cards one at a time to the waste pile. When a card matching the indicator’s rank appears, place it directly on the indicator pile. The top waste card can be moved to foundations or to one of four tableau piles, which accept ascending or descending cards of the same suit—only one card at a time. Once the stock is depleted, reset it by recycling the waste pile for another pass. A unique twist allows moving cards between foundation piles to improve strategy. Victory hinges on filling foundations efficiently, with higher rankings awarded for maximizing cards placed there.
