Play a deeper two-deck solitaire game with eight foundations, wide tableau management, and the distinctive Waive mechanic that opens tactical recovery once the stock runs out.
Select a card or sequence, then choose a highlighted destination.
Miss Milligan uses two decks. Eight face-up cards start the tableau, one in each column, and 96 cards remain in the stock. Each stock action deals a new row across the columns. Once the stock is exhausted, the Waive temporarily holds a legal alternating-color sequence from the tableau.
Two 52-card decks (104 cards) supply the game. Eight cards open the tableau; deal the remaining stock one row at a time, placing a card on each column. You may deal a row while other moves are available. Build downward in alternating colors and move correctly ordered face-up sequences as units. Empty columns accept Kings.
Eight foundations (one per suit per deck) build upward from Ace to King by suit. When the stock is exhausted, the empty Waive space may hold a legal tableau sequence. Move it back to a legal tableau column, or to a foundation if it is a single card. You may use the space again after it is emptied.
The Waive becomes available after the stock is empty. It holds one legal tableau sequence at a time and can be reused after that sequence returns to the tableau or foundation. Before moving a run there, check where its leading card can go next.
A useful Waive move exposes a card beneath the lifted run or lets another run use its vacated column. A run without a return route may block the Waive space.
Empty columns provide room for King-led runs. The Waive can hold a run after the stock ends even when no tableau column is empty, so compare the two storage options separately.
Deal pace matters because a new row covers all eight tableau tops. Before dealing, check whether a move can expose an Ace or clear a column you expect to use later.
