Lily

Game Objective:

The primary goal in Lily Solitaire is to move all cards from the tableau and stock to the foundation piles, building each foundation in ascending order by suit from Ace to King.

Setup & Layout:

• Deck Used: Standard 52-card deck, with no jokers.
• Tableau: Seven piles are created from left to right. The first pile has one card (face up), the second has two cards (top card face up, bottom card face down), the third has three cards (top card face up, rest face down), and so on until the seventh pile, which has seven cards (top card face up, the rest face down).
• Stock: The remaining cards after setting up the tableau are placed face down as the stock pile, usually above the tableau.
• Foundations: Four empty spaces designated for building up cards by suit from Ace to King.
• Waste (Talon): Cards drawn from the stock that cannot be played immediately are placed face up in the waste pile.
• Face Orientation: Only the top card of each tableau pile is dealt face up; all other tableau cards and stock are face down.

Lily Solitaire Rules:

• Card Movement Principles:
• Cards may be moved between tableau piles if they form a descending sequence and alternate colors (red on black, black on red).
• Only face-up cards (or properly ordered sequences of face-up cards) can be moved.
• Foundations are built strictly by suit, starting with Ace and ending with King.
• Building Sequences:
• Tableau piles are built down in rank, alternating colors (e.g., a red 9 can be placed on a black 10).
• Foundations are built up by suit (Ace, 2, 3, …, King).
• Moving Cards:
• Any face-up card or sequence of correctly ordered cards can be moved to another tableau pile or to a foundation, provided the destination follows building rules.
• Only Kings (or sequences starting with a King) may be moved to empty tableau spaces.

Gameplay:

• Typical Sequence of Actions:
• Move face-up cards (or sequences) between tableau piles to build descending, color-alternating sequences.
• Move Aces (when uncovered) to start foundation piles, then continue building up by suit.
• When a face-down card is exposed in the tableau, immediately flip it face up.
• Draw cards from the stock pile (typically one or three at a time, depending on the variant) and play them to the tableau or foundations if possible.
• If a drawn card cannot be played, place it in the waste pile; only the top card of the waste pile is playable.
• Introducing New Cards:
• Cards are introduced into play by drawing from the stock pile into the waste pile, then played to the tableau or foundations as allowed.
• No More Legal Moves:
• If no moves are possible and the stock is exhausted (or the allowed passes through the stock are completed), the game ends in a loss.

Winning & Losing Conditions:

• Winning Condition: The game is won when all cards are successfully moved to the foundation piles, each built in ascending order by suit from Ace to King.
• Losing Condition: The game is lost if no further legal moves are possible and the stock pile cannot provide any playable cards.

Special Rules & Edge Cases:

• Filling Empty Spaces: Only Kings (or sequences starting with a King) may be placed in empty tableau spaces.
• Stock & Waste Cycling: Depending on the variant, players may be allowed unlimited passes through the stock, a fixed number of passes, or only a single pass.
• Sequence Movement: Entire sequences of face-up, properly ordered cards may be moved as a unit between tableau piles.
• Restrictions: Cards cannot be moved into the middle of a tableau pile or placed out of sequence; only the top card (or valid sequence) is movable.
