Eight Off Solitaire: Build by Suit, Keep Space to Move

Eight Off Solitaire turns a visible deck into a space-management puzzle. This Card Game Nook version uses 52 cards, eight tableau columns and eight temporary cells. Your destination is four foundations, built by suit from Ace through King.

The opening layout has six face-up cards in each column. The remaining four cards occupy four cells, leaving four available. There is no stock to draw from: inspect the cards already in play and decide which blockers to release first.

Unlike alternating-color FreeCell, columns descend within one suit. A descending suited sequence can move together, but its length cannot exceed the empty-cell count plus one. Empty columns do not increase that allowance.

A vacant column needs a King or a sequence led by one. Think about where parked cards will return before spending another cell, and work toward freeing low cards for the foundations.
