Forty Thieves solitaire online
Forty Thieves, also called Napoleon at St Helena, is a two-deck patience game that rewards careful planning. Forty cards are dealt face up in ten columns; the rest wait in the stock.
How to play Forty Thieves
Move all 104 cards to the eight foundations, building each up by suit from Ace to King.
- Build the columns down by suit: the 9 of Clubs goes on the 10 of Clubs.
- Only the top card of a column can be moved. When there are empty columns, the game moves short runs for you.
- Any card can be placed in an empty column.
- Tap the stock to turn one card to the waste. You go through the stock only once.
Tips
- Empty a column as early as you can and keep it empty as long as possible.
- Think twice before covering a low card; it may be many turns before you see it again.
- Because there is no second pass, play a waste card whenever it does not hurt.
Is Forty Thieves hard?
It is demanding: only one card moves at a time, and the stock cannot be recycled. Plan empty columns carefully.
