Forty Thieves is a 2 deck Solitaire game. The tableau is a row of 10 by 4 cards is dealt face up. On the tableau pile you build down by suit. For example a 7 of Clubs can be placed on 8 of clubs.

Deal cards left in the face down pile one at a time to the face up pile. Top of the faceup pile and any card freed on the face up pile are available to for use. To play, tap and drag cards to the desired location. Top card on a tableau pile is always available to be moved. Cards may only be moved ONE AT A TIME. As Aces are freed up they are moved to the foundation(discard piles).

Any spaces created are available for use by any card.

Clear spaces as soon as possible. If you clear away a tableau pile it is an available space. Spaces are needed to interchange cards among tableaus piles so as to get suits together. It is important to get all face down cards into play.
