About Beleaguered Castle

Beleaguered Castle puts all its information on the table: four aces on their foundations and eight piles of six face-up cards. Move exposed cards down in rank regardless of suit, using empty piles as temporary space. This browser edition includes a UTC daily deal, hints, persistent Undo and Safe auto for conservative foundation moves.

How to play

Move an exposed pile-end card onto another card one rank higher, or into any empty pile. Build the four suit foundations from the starting aces through king. You cannot move a group or draw extra cards.

Rules in this version

Start with the four aces on foundations and six face-up cards in each of eight piles.
Only the exposed end card moves. Tableau building is downward by rank, with any suit.
Any exposed card may fill an empty pile. There is no stock.
Complete four ace-to-king suit foundations to win.

Tips for playing

Keep an empty pile available when it lets you uncover a needed card without burying another one.
Safe auto requires every foundation to have reached the preceding rank. A displayed hint is a legal option, not proof that the deal is solvable.
