Description by Luigi Fonti Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
This is Abacuc, a strategy solitaire game.
The game area is divided in three sections:
- Foundation area, with 4 piles on upper left side.
- Parking area, with 4 slots on upper right side.
- Tableau, with 8 colums in the lower side.
The goal of this game is to get all the cards of all four suits (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs) onto the foundation piles, where each can hold only one suit. You must put the cards in ascending order, starting from Aces all the way up through Kings (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King). These stacks will be built by shuffling cards between the columns of your tableau and four empty spots, or "free cells," which can hold one card each.
At beginning, the cards are placed in eight piles in the tableau. All of them are face up (four of the piles will have seven cards and the rest will have six).
The four "foundation" piles are initially empty and you'll end up placing there your cards from Aces to Kings. They are marked with an "A", meaning that you must first put Aces to them. The parking slots are also empty. and you will be able to temporarily store any one card while playing the game.
Start building your foundation piles when you get the chance. Move any Aces when they become available. Your goal will be to build up these foundation piles, one for each suit, from Ace to King, in order.
Make sure that you will not need a given card before placing it on the foundation. Once you place a card on a foundation pile, you cannot put it back in your tableau or in your free cells.
Move cards from one column of the tableau to another, if the opportunity arises. You can do this in order to strategically free up cards that are currently stuck behind others. Unless you have open free cells (see below), move just one card at a time.
The cards in the columns must be placed in descending order. They must also alternate between black and red (suits do not matter in the columns). For example, you can place a black 9 on a red 10 or a red Jack on a black Queen.
Keep an eye open for any empty columns in the tableau. If there are any, then you can move a card to the free space (or potentially a stack of cards, if you have open free cells, according to the rules below).
Move cards into the free cells strategically, too. Each of the four free cells can hold one card, no more. You can move a card from the tableau to a free cell at any time, and, if the opportunity arises, you can later move it back to the tableau or to the foundation (from which if can’t be moved).
Move one card at a time, unless you have open free cells. You can normally move a single card at a time between the columns. However, if you want to move a sequence of cards (in descending order), you can move them depending on how many free cells you have:
If you have four empty free cells, you can move five cards.
If you have three empty free cells, you can move four cards.
If you have two empty free cells, you can move three cards.
If you have one empty free cell, you can move two cards.
