Streets and Alleys Solitaire

Streets and Alleys deals the full 52 cards into two groups of four columns flanking a central foundation area — the "streets" are the columns and the "alleys" are the foundation lanes between them. It's a Castle variant where cards are dealt unevenly: the left columns get one extra card each. Build by rank on the tableau and suit to foundations. A satisfying visual layout with genuine strategic depth.

Streets and Alleys Tips

The uneven column sizes mean the left side is more constrained. Focus on creating space in the longer columns first. Empty columns on either side are valuable — use them as temporary storage. Build foundations as evenly as possible to maintain maximum flexibility.
