Support from Shuffles

Shuffles are useful for re-arranging cards that are not arranged correctly; however, this support is not available much so consider carefully before using.

Strategy to win easily

• Always keep Aces ready: When there is a chance, place Aces in a fixed position to start the chain.
• Keep the multi-purpose slots: Plan to keep the slots flexible, do not lock them early with unnecessary cards.
• Use shuffling wisely if available, keeping important cards to play again later when arranging more positions.

Rating the difficulty of this game

Similar to the gameplay of Montana Solitaire, this game is rated as medium to high difficulty, requiring players to observe well and strategize carefully for each move. The fact that only cards can be moved in the correct order and of the same suit, along with the limited number of shuffles, makes the game challenging.

Paganini Solitaire is ideal if you love intellectual card games and challenge your strategic thinking. With simple rules but moderate difficulty and limited shuffle ability, this game requires careful thinking for each move, creating a very satisfying feeling of conquest.
