HardChecked as winnableShuffling the cards…
About this deal
This is one of the harder deals of Two Balconies: only 0% of the quick simulated games won it, and the solver had to search for a while before finding the way.
All 40 cards are open from the start. The bottom cards of the eight columns are 3 of Coins, 3 of Cups, 6 of Cups, 5 of Batons, Fante of Swords, 6 of Batons, Re of Swords and 4 of Batons.
No Ace is free at the start.
The deepest Ace, the Ace of Coins, is covered by 3 cards in column 1.
No Re lies at the base of a column, so every Re will have to move at some point.
No two cards are in building order yet.
The solver's winning line has 25 moves.
