Forty Thieves is a solitaire played with two decks. Forty cards are dealt into ten columns of four, and the rest wait in the deck. It takes thought and a little patience, and it feels good when it comes out.

On Easy, whole runs can move, and every deal can be won. On Medium, you move one card at a time, and the deals can still be won. Hard moves one card at a time and gives you any deal. The cards are big and plain, on a pine table.

How to play

  1. Open the game and choose Easy, Medium or Hard.
  2. Build the ten columns down by suit, like the 6 of hearts on the 7 of hearts. Any card can fill an empty column.
  3. Build the eight home piles up by suit, from Ace to King. Two decks mean two piles for each suit.
  4. Tap the deck to turn over a card. You go through the deck just once, so choose your moves with care.
  5. Tap a card to move it. It goes home first, then onto its suit one higher, then to an empty column. You can also drag. Safe cards fly home on their own.
  6. Tap Undo, or press U, to take a move back, and Hint, or H, for the next move. D deals. When the deck is gone and nothing useful moves, the game says No more moves.
