How to play Thieves of Egypt

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundation piles, which are built in-suit starting from Ace to King.

Layout & deal

Thieves of Egypt Solitaire uses two decks (104 cards).

Fifty-five cards are dealt face-up to the 10 tableau piles, with a varying amount of cards for each pile in the shape of a downward facing pyramid: one card is dealt to the 1st pile, three cards to the 2nd, five to the 3rd, seven to the 4th, nine to the 5th, 10 to the 6th, eight to the 7th, six to the 8th, four to the 9th and two to the 10th pile.

The 49 remaining cards go face-down into the stock. The waste and eight foundation piles are empty at the start.

Allowable moves

The tableau is built in descending order and by alternating color. Single cards can be moved, and also card sequences that are correctly ordered can be moved together. Only Kings (or sequences starting with a King) can be moved to an empty tableau pile.

Click the stock pile to reveal an additional card, which is moved to the waste. If the stock is empty, you can click it to reset all cards from waste to stock. You can only reset the stock once.

The foundations are built in-suit in ascending order. The top card of any tableau pile or the waste pile can be moved to the foundation.
