American Toad Solitaire

Twenty cards form the reserve, with only its top visible. Eight columns each start with one card, and eight ace-based foundations await both decks.

Empty columns bring reserve cards into play

Build down by suit. Ordered suited runs can move together. Whenever a tableau column empties, it receives the next reserve card automatically. Once the reserve is exhausted, any card or legal suited run can fill an empty column.

The stock returns just once

The 76-card stock draws one card at a time and allows two total passes. This version builds foundations from aces, rather than a randomly chosen starting rank. Look for a receiver for the reserve card before drawing; releasing it opens another reserve card without spending a stock draw. Win by sending every card to the eight foundations, each built upward by suit to king.
