How to Play Josephine Solitaire?

Josephine Solitaire is one fascinating and strategic derivative of Napoleon at St. Helena Solitaire, including some additional layer of complexity and flexibility. It deals with a standard 52-card deck to challenge the player by creating all cards in ascending order into the foundation piles. Josephine Solitaire is ideal for those who love playing classic solitaire with a strategic twist.

To set up the game, one must shuffle the deck and deal 10 tableau piles of four cards each, face up. The goal here is to move all cards up onto the four foundation piles that are built up in ascending order by suit, starting with the Aces. The tableau piles are the main playing field and important in uncovering and sorting the cards for the foundations.

Unlike some solitaire games, Josephine allows moving any number of cards in a sequence in descending order, but all cards must be of the same suit. This is in contrast to its close relative, Napoleon at St. Helena, where only single cards can be moved. Spaces in the tableau can be filled with any card, thus offering more ways to rearrange cards and hopefully create possibilities for play.

Josephine Solitaire is a blend of strategy and difficulty that makes the enthusiasts come back to it time and again. Unusual rules force one to think well and plan the moves accordingly. Completion yields a good feeling. Josephine's Solitaire will please everybody who likes Solitaire-easy and yet challenging, perfect for experienced pros and complete beginners.
