La Belle Lucie rewards disciplined move ordering.

Core La Belle Lucie tips

• Treat each fan-to-fan move as mostly irreversible and check both source and destination consequences before committing.
• Build on short fans first when possible; they are safer because fewer buried cards get trapped.
• Foundation moves are almost always good because they expose new tops without consuming fan capacity.
• When two similar fan moves exist, prefer the one that preserves more future suit links.
• Spend redeals only after exploring all legal lines; a wasteful redeal often decides the game.

Best early priority

Scan for immediate foundation plays and potential suit ladders before moving cards between fans. Foundation flow creates space without introducing new blocks.

Common mistake

Moving a card just because it is legal can bury a critical lower rank and force an early redeal with little benefit.
