Le Cadran
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Le Cadran is a classic solitaire game. You have a fair chance of solving the game. Although the game is not easy.
You play same color and suit in descending order. However you can only move the lowest card of a cascade. This prevents you from combining parts of cascades that would fit onto each other. In the screenshot above you see 2 separate threads of hearts.
In almost any successful game your waste cascade builds from left to the right and then you manage to reduce it back to zero cards by sorting the cards on the tableau while collecting to the foundations. If you run out of empty tableau cascades you are in trouble.
By default there is no recycling the cards (as this would give you a 100% chance of success, activate it anytime in the info panel if you whish).
Hint: Move cards between cascades as late as possible and only if needed to get access to another card.
Good Luck!
