{"game":"solitaire","name":"Solitaire","description":"Similar to the popular game Klondike Solitaire. Build four suit foundations from Ace to King by moving cards between seven tableau piles, drawing one or three cards at a time from the stock.","kind":"finite","rules_html":"\n    <p><b>Goal:</b> move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, one per suit, in order from Ace up to King.</p>\n    <p><b>Layout and addressing.</b> The seven tableau piles are <code>t1</code> to <code>t7</code> (left to right). Each pile starts with some face-down cards (shown as <code>[##]</code>) under one face-up card. The foundations are <code>f1</code> ♠, <code>f2</code> ♥, <code>f3</code> ♦ and <code>f4</code> ♣. The <code>stock</code> is the face-down draw pile and the <code>waste</code> is where drawn cards land; only the top waste card can be played. In the text board each tableau pile is listed from bottom to top, so the <b>last card in a row is the top card</b>.</p>\n    <p><b>Moves.</b> On the tableau, a card goes on a card one rank higher of the opposite color (a red 7 on a black 8). You can move a face-up run of cards together: <code>move t6 t1 3</code> moves the top 3 cards of t6 onto t1. If you leave out the count, the game finds the run that fits. Only a King (or a run starting with a King) can go into an empty pile. Foundations take one card at a time in suit order; use <code>f</code> as the destination and the right foundation is picked. You can also take the top card of a foundation back to the tableau. When a face-down tableau card becomes the top of its pile, it is turned over automatically. You can name a face-up card instead of a pile as the source, e.g. <code>move 7h t3</code> (use s, h, d, c or ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣, and 10 or t for tens).</p>\n    <p><b>Stock.</b> <code>draw</code> turns over 1 card (draw 1) or 3 cards (draw 3, where only the last one drawn is playable). When the stock is empty, <code>recycle</code> turns the waste back into the stock in the same order. Passes are unlimited, but recycling costs points: 100 per recycle in draw 1; in draw 3 the first two recycles (three passes) are free and each later one costs 20.</p>\n    <p><b>Help.</b> <code>moves</code> lists every legal move with its effect. <code>auto</code> moves every card that is safe to put on a foundation (Aces, 2s, and cards whose opposite-color foundations are high enough that nothing could still need them); once all cards are face-up and the stock is empty, <code>auto</code> finishes the game. The board warns you when no productive move is left (nothing can reach a foundation, no face-down card can be revealed, and no stock card can be played); then you can <code>resign</code>.</p>\n    <p><b>Scoring</b> (Windows standard style): +10 for each card moved to a foundation, +5 for each waste card moved to the tableau, +5 for each face-down card revealed, -15 for moving a card off a foundation, and the recycle penalties above. Winning adds a bonus of 500 plus 2 points for each action under 200 (draws, recycles and card moves count; <code>moves</code> and <code>select</code> don't). In draw 3 the total is multiplied by 1.5. The final score is never below 0. The game ends when all cards are on the foundations, or when you <code>resign</code> (you keep your points but get no win bonus).</p>","commands":[{"syntax":"draw","description":"Turn over the next 1 or 3 cards from the stock onto the waste.
