Strategy

Forty Thieves strategy

Forty Thieves offers few reversible moves. Progress comes from exposing low cards while preserving scarce empty columns.

Advanced8 min readForty Thieves

Play low cards promptly

Aces and twos reduce congestion and begin eight demanding foundations.

Do not block a suit

Building down in suit can trap the lower card needed to move the whole chain upward.

Respect the stock

Each stock card appears once. Scan every tableau option before drawing past it.

Keep in mind

  • Find aces.
  • Build cleanly.
  • Protect empty columns.
  • Inspect before drawing.
