About this deal
This is one of the easier deals of Seven Alleys: 99% of the quick simulated games won it, and the solver found its winning line almost at once.
The seven alleys show Ace of Swords, Ace of Cups, 2 of Batons, 7 of Swords, Cavallo of Batons, 2 of Cups and 6 of Coins on top; 21 cards start face down below them and 12 wait in the stock.
2 Aces are free at once and can go straight home.
The deepest Ace, the Ace of Batons, is covered by 6 cards in column 7.
No Re is face up yet, so an empty alley would have to wait.
No two cards are in building order yet.
The solver's winning line has 41 moves.
