Volcano Eleven, deal #2
MediumChecked as winnableAbout this deal
This deal sits in the middle of the range for Volcano Eleven: 27% of the quick simulated games won it, so a sensible plan usually carries it through.
The bottom row starts with 7 of Batons, Cavallo of Coins, 2 of Cups, Ace of Cups, 7 of Cups and Re of Coins, and the 4 of Batons sits at the very top.
2 pairs are ready straight away among the bottom cards – choose the order with care, since some of them compete for the same card.
9 times a card lies across one of its own partners, so those two cards can never leave together and need other partners.
The most crowded value is 6 with 4 cards in the layout, while only 1 of its partners (5) are in the layout too; the rest come from the stock.
The solver's winning line has 53 moves.
