About this deal
This deal sits in the middle of the range for Seven Alleys: 70% of the quick simulated games won it, so a sensible plan usually carries it through.
The seven alleys show 5 of Batons, 6 of Coins, 5 of Coins, Fante of Swords, 3 of Cups, 2 of Coins and 3 of Swords on top; 21 cards start face down below them and 12 wait in the stock.
No Ace is free at the start.
The deepest Ace, the Ace of Batons, is covered by 3 cards in column 4.
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 55 moves.
