✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kslyfox

that's it bestie. no flags, no args, just send it. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

kslyfox pops open a window and boom 💥 — you're playing sly fox solitaire.

Here's how you touch the cards:

• click a card → it yeets itself to the "best" legal play. the game knows what it's doing, trust.
• drag a card → it goes to the target stack you dropped it on, if that move is legal. if it's not legal, it's not going, no cap.

👑 RULES 👑

so Sly Fox is a double-deck solitaire game. two decks. double the chaos. 🃏🃏

the setup, step by step:

1. 4 Aces and 4 Kings (one of each suit) get pulled out and used as the foundations.
   • the Ace piles build up in suit ⬆️
   • the King piles build down ⬇️
2. 20 cards are dealt face up in 4 rows of 5 to form the reserve.
3. Any of the reserve cards can be played onto the foundations ✨ — and the second a space opens up from that, it gets immediately filled in from the deck. no empty spots lingering, she's fast.
4. Once no more plays can be made, cards get dealt one at a time from the deck. Each card can either:
   • go to a foundation, or
   • go onto one of the 20 reserve stacks.
5. 🚨 important: during this phase, none of the reserve cards can be moved to the foundations. hands off, they're benched.
6. Once 20 cards have been added to the reserve, the reserve cards can be played again like before — except spaces are not filled immediately this time. instead they're left sitting there for the next deal. yeah. that's just how it is. 😌

🎮 Playing the X version 🎮

ngl this part is so intuitive, it's giving main character energy.

• generally, clicking on a card makes it do the "right thing" ✅
• cards can also be dragged between piles 🫳

switching modes:

to go from Deal play (when the reserve cards are in play) over to Reserve play (when the deck cards are being added to the reserve), you've got three options, pick your fighter:

• select 'Deal'
• hit the 'd' key ⌨️
• click on the deck 🃏

Once 20 cards are added to the reserve stacks, the game reverts to Deal mode automatically. she just knows. 💫

and during Reserve play, it's even simpler — you just click on the destination of the card in play and it gets placed there. that's it. periodt. 💅
