Objective

Build four complete King-to-Ace sequences in the same suit. Finished sequences are removed from play.

The game

Tableau
  • 10 columns with decreasing card counts (8,8,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
  • Every card is face-up from the start
  • Build down regardless of suit for single cards
  • Move groups only when they form a same-suit descending sequence
  • Any card or valid sequence can fill empty columns

Key difference from Spider

Simple Simon has no stock pile. All 52 cards are dealt face-up at the start, making it a pure puzzle with complete information. No luck involved once the deal is set.

Strategy

  • Prioritize building same-suit sequences - these are the only movable groups
  • Empty columns are powerful; create and preserve them
  • Plan multiple moves ahead since all information is visible
  • Work on completing one suit at a time when possible
