Australian Patience is won by building mobile same-suit runs.

Core Australian Patience tips

• Build clean same-suit runs whenever possible so cards can travel together later.
• Do not spend an empty column on the first available King if a stronger sequence can claim it later.
• Delay weak waste plays when they break a more useful in-suit lane on the tableau.
• Favor moves that uncover cards supporting Aces, Twos, and Threes because foundation flow matters quickly.
• Treat the one-pass stock as a finite resource and compare all tableau plays before drawing again.

Best early priority

In the opening, look for columns that can turn into long same-suit chains. Those columns become your main transport routes for the rest of the deal.

Common mistake

A common error is making mixed tactical improvements that leave you with many legal single-card moves but no movable groups.
