Nestor Solitaire

52 cards are dealt into eight columns of six, with no two cards of the same rank sharing a column. Four reserve cards sit off to the side. Remove all cards by pairing any two available cards of the same rank — the top card of each column and every reserve card are available. Clear every pair to win.

Why play Nestor?

Nestor is a pure matching puzzle where visible information is high but access is limited by column tops and reserve timing.

Rules overview

Pair available cards of the same rank from the eight columns and four reserve cards until all 26 pairs have been removed.

Strategy tips

  • Preserve pair options that uncover the most blocked columns.
  • Reserve cards give flexibility, so use them to free hard-to-match tops.
  • A quick same-rank match is not always the best match if it reveals a dead card.
