Four Piles is a really tough game! haven't found out the "strategy", and have yet to complete a single game although I've been trying for 3 months. Its like your average solitaire game. Stack the cards in sequence, etc... The difference is instead of K being the largest card and also the base card, the base card for each games of four piles is random. On each new game, there'll be a card faced up in the top left of the "grid" of nine squares. From here, you'll need to reveal cards and stack them downwards.
eg. Starting base card is 7. Try to find cards to stack accordingly
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, k, q, etc....
You only have 4 squares in the shape of a "cross" or "+" to move your unstacked cards. This can be really tough. You'll have to shift them around to reveal the cards that can be placed back on the four tiles.
Hope you catch my drift! 
Let me know if any of you manage to complete the game! |

Its a really easy game. Lets say that the first card u C is 2 spades. Then the 3 other corners also have to start with card no 2. The other 5 squares U can use to stack the other cards. In this case where the first card is a 2 U should try and put cards from 8 and down in the 5 squares. When e.g. a king comes up don’t put it in the free squares. Also remember that in the 5 squares u don’t have to stack the cards in the same colour and type. in the end u will end up with the 4 squares looking like this. 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-kn-Q-King and ace. Use the # to stack the cards in the 4 squares and 0(+) to get a new card and * to pick up a card. Its hard to explain the game but I hope that u get it.

Why does not SE give us proper games.What if i dont like card games...My t68i is full of them.I would also prefer more memory to those silly card games if i could have a chance.In next firmwares i hope they do us a favor and give us an option which we can delete the games we dont want... |

I read the instructions online and it states that the initial pile can restart again and again. Is this true? Coz on my T68i it doesn't. |

The initial pile may not be restarted.
I completed a four pile game thrice only.
Lucky for me, the deck played easy those times. |
