Moltke

The patience named after Count von Moltke requires good forward planning and clever consideration, as sequences may not be moved here.

# Layout

In Moltke, ten columns with five cards each are laid out overlapping.

# Objective

The objective of this patience is to build up in the same suit in ascending order on the eight Aces that appear during play.

# Gameplay

Since in this patience only individual cards may be moved in descending order with alternating colors and no sequences, it is particularly important to clear several columns at the beginning if possible. Therefore, you should study the layout carefully and consider which cards you can move and whether there are already Aces as foundation cards in the tableau. When nothing works anymore, reveal cards one by one from the stock and place these cards in a horizontal row below the tableau. Only the top card may be used to use it in the tableau or to play it up as a foundation or subsequent card. The row must be resolved at the end, as the stock may only be played through once.
