Every card is visible in Simple Simon. Arrange the 52 cards into four complete king-to-ace runs, one per suit, with no later stock deal to help.
Build by rank; move runs by suit
Place a card on the next higher rank regardless of suit. A single exposed card can move, but a group must be an uninterrupted descending run of the same suit. Any card or legal run can fill an empty column. Completed suited runs remain on the tableau in this version.
Use a space to separate a mixed run
A heart on a spade may be a legal join, yet the pair cannot travel together. Before making it, identify the receiving card or spare column that will separate them later. Emptying a short column can provide the workspace needed to untangle a longer one. Win when the entire tableau consists of the four finished suit runs.
