Double Klondike

📝 Special Statement

Hark, Grand Solitaire Strategist! You are not merely playing Klondike; you are plunging into the monumental, mind-bending complexity of the Great Double-Deck Desolation! Prepare for a saga of twice the cards, twice the strategy, and twice the glory! 👑🃏

The Eightfold Empire: Conquering the Double-Deck Desolation

You are the chosen Solitaire Sovereign, facing a field choked with two full decks—a staggering $104$ cards demanding order! Your ultimate quest is to construct the magnificent Eightfold Empire: eight distinct Foundation Homesteads at the top of the screen, each one built up in perfect, ASCENDING SUIT ORDER, starting from the humble Ace of Angels and culminating in the mighty King of Kingdoms! This is a test of patience and perception, comparing the challenge to managing eight separate royal dynasties simultaneously! 🏰✨

The Iron Law of the Tableau: Alternating Color Hierarchy

The sprawling chaos of the Tableau Saloon—the main playing area—must be tamed by the Iron Law of the Tableau. Here, you must build downward in an unforgiving, DESCENDING ORDER, ensuring that every card is placed on a card one rank higher than itself! More crucially, you must uphold the sacred Alternating Color Hierarchy: a blazing Red card (Hearts or Diamonds) must ALWAYS be followed by a shadowy Black card (Clubs or Spades), and vice versa! Failure to strictly adhere to the alternating colors means the entire stack remains frozen, a useless obstruction in your path to the foundations! 🚫♠️♥️

The Stockpile of Fate and the Double Draw

When the Tableau stalls and the Eightfold Empire seems distant, you turn to the massive, unplayed reserves of the Stockpile of Fate in the upper-left corner. With a decisive CLICK!—a gesture of final hope—you reveal a fresh sequence of cards, the Double Draw of Destiny! These newly revealed cards may hold the single key necessary to unlock a frozen column or to begin building one of the eight foundations! Only through cunning, double-deck strategy, and relentless pursuit of the ascending suit order will you conquer the Great Double-Deck Desolation and be crowned the ultimate Solitaire Sovereign! Draw with wisdom, and build the Empire! 🏆💰
