Two Swords Solitaire

🎯 Objective

Forge the legendary Two Swords! Each sword must be constructed using the 15 cards (shards) that are laid out at the bottom of each phase. Shards can only be moved to the active sword if they are one rank higher or lower than the current top card of the sword.

🂡 How to Play

• Move Shard to Sword: Tap a face-up shard card, then tap the active sword if it's adjacent in rank (A-2-3...J-Q-K-A) — Suits do not matter!
• Stack Shards: Move shard cards of the same rank onto each other in columns.
• Move Shards: Any face-up shard card (or stack) can be moved to an empty column or onto a face-down shard.
• Flip Shards: Tap face-down shards to reveal them (only when no face-up shards are on top).
• Draw from Deck: Tap the deck to add a card to the active sword to assist in the forging — However, the more help that you require, the more likely you are to fail...

🗡️ Two Phases

Phase 1: Forge Sword 1 (must use the 15 shard cards laid out). When complete, Sword 2 becomes active.

Phase 2: Forge Sword 2 (must use the next 15 shard cards laid out). New shards are dealt for the second phase, but only if there are enough available. You will need at least 16 cards in the deck by the end of Phase 1 to continue onto Phase 2.

🏆 Winning & Losing

Win: Complete both swords! (using the 30 shards laid out, 15 each phase)

Lose: Run out of deck cards with no legal moves remaining, or insufficient cards to start Phase 2.

💡 Tips / Extra Info

• A 'Forge' is a unique shuffle/order of the deck, with over 2.8 trillion different Forges to try!
• Use deck cards only when you're truly stuck.
• Use stacking and moving to empty columns to access buried shards.
• Plan ahead - some moves reveal more cards than others.
• When trying a Forge again, move face-up shards around to unlock different opportunities.
• Some Forges, sadly, cannot be won. Unlucky shuffles happen.
• Abandoning a game will reset the 'Current Streak' statistic in Casual Play.
