Meet Simple Simon
A few details help explain this feature. All cards are face up from the beginning. Simple Simon on 708-yuan.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits. There are ten tableau columns and no stock pile. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.
Read the opening pattern
The first three opening columns contain eight cards each. All 52 cards are placed in the tableau at the start. The remaining columns contain seven, six, five, four, three, two and one cards. No hidden cards remain to be turned over later.
Build down by rank
A few details help explain this feature. An Ace is the lowest rank and cannot receive another card. Single-card placement does not require matching suits. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank exists. An exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher.
Keep a descending suit sequence
Here are the details for this mode. A group moves together only when its selected cards descend in the same suit. Being face up does not make every multi-card group movable. A visible card can remain blocked by cards beneath it. A shorter same-suit segment at the bottom may offer a legal move.
Separate temporary builds
A few details help explain this feature. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. A mixed-suit descending build can serve as a temporary arrangement. Planning where each segment can land helps avoid blocking a useful card. A mixed build must be separated into legal groups before those groups can move.
Use an empty column
Spare columns can help you reconnect separated parts of one suit. A King-led group cannot land on a nonempty column. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings.
There is no stock
Undo and Replay provide ways to investigate a different sequence of decisions. All possible future arrangements depend on the cards already in the tableau. Simple Simon has no stock-deal action. A difficult position cannot receive another row of cards.
Complete the suits
Here are the details for this mode. Collecting four runs clears all 52 cards. Each collected run must contain one suit in order from King down to Ace. A descending sequence with a suit change does not count as complete. A full qualifying run is removed automatically at the bottom of a column.
Use the controls carefully
Keep these points in mind. Random Simple Simon games are not claimed to be guaranteed solvable. Hint suggests a currently legal move rather than a complete solution. Replay returns to the same opening arrangement. New game deals a fresh face-up arrangement.
