Forty Thieves Solitaire

In this solitaire card game, the objective is to move all the cards to the 8 foundation piles located at the upper right corner, building each in suit from Ace to King. The game requires a strategic use of the tableau piles, which are the 10 middle piles that temporarily hold cards as you work towards your goal. Only the top card from these piles can be moved, and it must be placed on a tableau pile that has the same suit and is one point smaller than the existing top card. The stock card feature on the top left allows for additional moves, which can be essential in progressing through the game. Once all the stock cards are used, failing to place all cards in the foundation results in a loss.
