Are you feeling lucky? There are eight foundation piles, built up in suit from Kings to Aces then up to Queens. The objective is to move all of the cards here Under the foundations are eight tableau piles. These piles begin the game with all the Queens dealt to them. These piles are built down in suit from the Queens. Spaces are not filled. The remainder of the deck forms a stock, which is turned over to a waste pile one card at a time by clicking. There are no redeals. Play is simple. Whenever a King or a Jack appears, you play it to either the top row (Kings), or bottom row (Jacks). Then you try to build those up and down until a pile of the same suit meets, in which case they can all be moved up to the foundation pile. However, you are going to have to get lucky for this to happen.

Pretty Good MahJongg for Mac works in macOS 11.0 Big Sur.   Featured Game - Indian Thirteen Indian Thirteen is a new game in version 20.1 of Pretty Good Solitaire for Windows. It is a variation of the classic game Indian Patience. There are eight foundation piles that are built from Aces to Kings as usual. The object of the game is to move all of the cards to the foundation piles. There are 13 tableau piles, instead of the ten in Indian Patience. At the start of the game three cards are dealt to each pile, one face down and two face up. Building is down by any suit but the same. Only one card at a time may be moved. When a face down card is exposed in the tableau (by removal of the cards above it), that card is turned face up and becomes a protected card. Protected cards may only be moved to a foundation and no cards may be played upon them. When a protected card is moved to a foundation, the empty space will be filled from the stock with one face down card and two more face up (just like the initial deal) for as long as the stock contains the cards to do so. Protected cards remain protected until the stock is empty, then they become available for play on other tableau piles, and other cards may be played upon them. After the stock is empty, spaces may be filled by any card. The remainder of the deck forms a stock. Clicking on the stock deals one card to a waste pile. The top card of the waste pile is available for play on the foundations or tableau. There are no redeals. The protected cards give Indian Thirteen a different feel from other Forty Thieves type games. The idea of protected cards is also used in the games Indian Patience, Mumbai, Taj Mahal and Old Moon. Indian Thirteen is one of the 1040 games in Pretty Good Solitaire (for Windows).
