8:06 Its not always best to move the King to the blank square. There's more moves available if he moved the 5♤ to the blank square first. I wrote it all out but my phone deleted it and i didn't want to re-write it out. But don't immediately move the King to the blank square as it can't go on anything, so it's stuck there then and you've lost your free slot.
Best strategy is to start with the top right card (always focus on freeing up hidden cards - this is more important than playing aces, for instance), the seven of spades. Look for any red eights. There are none. Do the same with the six of spades. No red sevens. Five of clubs - one red six, but it is blocked by a black jack. Move the jack covering the six to the queen on the far right pile. Now move the red jack (and the red six) to the far left column. You can play the five on the six, freeing up a card. (It took an extra move, but I prefer playing the five of clubs over the five of spades because there are more cards hidden under it.) When you get to the three of diamonds, you will notice the four of spades, which you can move that pile to, freeing up a card. Continue with this method.
Thank you for this video! All the booms and whatnot make no sense, and the only other youtuber that has made a video on this doesn't understand how to make a video go smoothly like you do 😄
Yes it is! I figured out the name after I posted the vid. I read that you can lay out as many cards as you want to see how it folds inward, but most people go out to 13.
Hi there I've just found your channel and hope you upload more games, as I'm always on the look out for new games to play. This one's a good one I know as accordion.
Just looked this game up in my David Parlett book solitaire to see if anyone covered it and I saw your channel. Subscribed. I got a few videos of obscure card games, I would love for you to check it out.
This is not the game Eagle wing according to Hoyle. The wings form the tableau that is supposed to be build down by rank and by suit . That is the reason that you nerve win!
