Agnes Bernauer (Relaxed) Solitaire

The original. The one everyone calls just "solitaire".

Agnes Bernauer Relaxed is the casual entry point to Agnes Bernauer's signature 7-card reserve layout. Foundations still wrap around (J → Q → K → A), but the relaxed rule set adds undo and lenient autoplay - making the variant solvable for newcomers without losing its character.
