Cannot solve this one - is it winnable? |

It is winnable Johnathan. Far from straightforward.
If you don't know how to use these solutions, get back to me here. |

Thanks Richard, brilliant. There was a crucial move where I (or autoplay) took a card from the wrong pile. Cheers |

Sorry, quite a number of crucial moves, not just one. Still trying to solve it myself, having run through you solution a couple of times! |

Johnathan, The majority of us have autoplay switched off. It makes legal moves but not necessarily the best ones. |

Richard is right (I can't believe I'm saying this), Jonathan. The only 2 games I play with autoplay turned on are Buffalo Bill and Little Billie where it actually helps me win the games. |

Jonathan, i am one of the minority who is playing Autoplay. But i have also games where Autoplay does not make sense and i have switched it off. It depends on the game.
Sometimes i switch it off during playing a game, because it is in that moment better without it, but i turn it on again later, when the game is properly (?) won. |
