NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Meet Simple Simon

A few details help explain this feature. All cards are face up from the beginning. Simple Simon on zsfh28.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. There are ten tableau columns and no stock pile.

Read the opening pattern

Keep these points in mind. The remaining columns contain seven, six, five, four, three, two and one cards. The first three opening columns contain eight cards each. No hidden cards remain to be turned over later. All 52 cards are placed in the tableau at the start.

Find a receiving card

An Ace is the lowest rank and cannot receive another card. Single-card placement does not require matching suits. An exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank exists.

Keep a descending suit sequence

Here are the details for this mode. Being face up does not make every multi-card group movable. A group moves together only when its selected cards descend in the same suit. A visible card can remain blocked by cards beneath it. A shorter same-suit segment at the bottom may offer a legal move.

Manage suit changes

The following details apply here. A mixed build must be separated into legal groups before those groups can move. A mixed-suit descending build can serve as a temporary arrangement. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. Planning where each segment can land helps avoid blocking a useful card.

Create room to rearrange

Keep these points in mind. Spare columns can help you reconnect separated parts of one suit. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings. A King-led group cannot land on a nonempty column.

Work with the visible cards

Here are the details for this mode. A difficult position cannot receive another row of cards. All possible future arrangements depend on the cards already in the tableau. Undo and Replay provide ways to investigate a different sequence of decisions. Simple Simon has no stock-deal action.

Four runs finish the game

Here are the details for this mode. Collecting four runs clears all 52 cards. A full qualifying run is removed automatically at the bottom of a column. Each collected run must contain one suit in order from King down to Ace. A descending sequence with a suit change does not count as complete.

Use the controls carefully

Keep these points in mind. Replay returns to the same opening arrangement. Hint suggests a currently legal move rather than a complete solution. New game deals a fresh face-up arrangement. Random Simple Simon games are not claimed to be guaranteed solvable.
