Strategy & tips
- Pretend you're playing with physical cards: every move is irreversible. Plan three moves ahead, every time.
- Strict mode rewards patience over pace - slow down before each foundation play.
- Play aces and twos to the foundation immediately, but think twice before sending higher cards - you may need them in the tableau.
