🗺️ The Surveyor's Draft - Strategic Solitaire
Card Game
Survey the territory and stake your claim!
Clear all 48 cards to reveal exactly four
Kings as your permanent "Cornerstone Claims."
👑
🎯 OBJECTIVE
Navigate through 52 cards to leave only the
four Kings standing. Every decision matters in
this unique twist on solitaire!
🎴 HOW TO PLAY
**SETUP:**
• 🏗️ Territory: 4×4 grid (16 cards face-up)
• 📦 Reserve: 4 strategic cards above the grid
• 🎲 Draw Pile: 32 remaining cards
**FORMING PARCELS:**
Match any two available cards that meet these
criteria:
• ♥️ Pair Parcel: Same rank (7♠ + 7♥, Q♣ +
Q♦)
• ➕ Sum Parcel: Values = 13 (6+7, 9+4, Q+A,
J+2)
• ⚠️ Kings CANNOT be in Parcels - they're your
goal!
**CARD VALUES:**
Ace=1, 2-10=face value, Jack=11, Queen=12,
King=special
**TURN SEQUENCE:**
1. Select two cards to form a Parcel ✨
2. 🔀 OPTIONAL: Move Reserve card to empty
Territory (or tap SKIP)
3. 🎯 REQUIRED: Draw a card and cover any
Territory card with it
4. ♻️ Reserve automatically refills
🧠 STRATEGIC DEPTH
**Stack Management:**
Covering cards creates stacks! 🏷️ Badges show
stack depth. Top cards can be used in Parcels,
but buried cards are trapped. Choose
carefully what you cover!
**King Strategy:**
👑 Kings are permanent once visible - nothing
can be placed on them! They lock that spot
forever. Plan ahead - drawing a King at the
wrong time can block valuable territory!
**Reserve Tactics:**
💡 Save high-value cards (Queens, Jacks) or
needed combinations. Timing Reserve moves is
crucial for success!
**Endgame:**
When the draw pile empties, you can keep
forming Parcels until you win or run out of
moves. Every decision counts!
