Cruel (solitaire)

Cruel is a solitaire card game based on Perseverance.

The aces are placed face up to act as the foundations, upon which the suits will be built in sequence.

The aim of the game is to place all the cards on the foundation piles, ordered from ace to king, using an unlimited number of moves.

For each move the player chooses any one of the top (exposed) cards from a tableau pile and places it either: Only one card may be moved at a time.

At any time the player may have the tableau piles re-dealt, whereby they are collected together in sequence (from left to right, row by row) without shuffling and dealt in piles of four.
