Australian Patience

Australian Patience, developed by Novel Games Limited, is a captivating entry in the Games category, specifically under the Card subcategory.

The objective of Australian Patience is to move all cards to the 4 foundations. At the beginning of the game, each of the 7 tableau piles receives 4 cards facing up, while a single card is dealt to the discard pile. What's left becomes the stock, positioned facing down next to the discard pile. The foundations are built up in suit from A to K, whereas the tableau piles are built down in suit. Unique to this game is the ability to move groups of cards among tableau piles, as long as the move connects an immediately lower-ranking card to a higher-ranking card of the same suit. This offers a strategic depth that veterans of card games will appreciate.
