Beleaguered Castle is a patience or solitaire card game played with a deck of 52 playing cards.[3][4] It is sometimes described as "Freecell without cells" because its game play is somewhat akin to the popular solitaire computer game of that name but without extra empty spaces to maneuver. Beleaguered Castle is also called Laying Siege and Sham Battle.[5]
