Opening strategy
Build foundations whenever the move is safe, because tableau mobility is limited to one card at a time. Empty columns are rare and powerful, so reserve them for cards that unlock long same-suit progress.
When you get stuck
Do not scatter same-suit runs across too many columns. Forty Thieves punishes loose organization because you cannot pick up a stack and move it later.
Difficulty & win feel
One of the hardest patience games here: two decks, suit-strict builds, and single-card moves. Wins feel rare and carefully planned.
Who it’s for
Forty Thieves is best for patient players who like two-deck solitaire, strict same-suit building, and long games where every single-card move matters.
