Hillside Steps, deal #24
MediumChecked as winnableAbout this deal
This deal sits in the middle of the range for Hillside Steps: 0% of the quick simulated games won it, so a sensible plan usually carries it through.
The pile starts with the Re of Cups. At the start you can reach 7 of Cups, 4 of Cups, 7 of Coins, Cavallo of Cups and 6 of Batons.
One of them fits on the Re of Cups straight away.
Played perfectly, the opening run is a single card before the first stock card is needed.
3 cards in the layout are end values (Ace and Re), which connect in one direction only – the cards most likely to be left behind.
The most common value in the layout is 7 (4 cards), so its neighbours 6 and Fante are the values to keep in sight.
14 cards wait in the stock; the solver's line turns 14 of them.
The solver's winning line has 39 moves.
