Beleaguered Castle variant

Streets and Alleys Solitaire

Aces in the centre. Eight columns charging in. No stock pile.

Streets and Alleys is Beleaguered Castle without the central Aces - they have to be dug out of the tableau themselves. The extra unblocking work makes win rates noticeably lower than the parent game.
