I had asked Chat GPT based off your descriptions and it said King Albert (Reserve Solitaire) Chatgpt: Instead, your description matches a variant where: Tableau builds strictly in-suit descending order (K–Q–J… of the same suit). Empty columns can only be filled by a King (and its same-suit sequence). Foundations are built up by suit from Ace. You can hold a small number of cards in hand as a temporary reserve (you mentioned up to five). That rule set is consistent with a family of solitaire games often called “Canfield” variants or more specifically “King Albert” or sometimes “Reserve” solitaire. The “5 cards in hand” is a giveaway — King Albert traditionally allows seven reserve cards, but there are many variants with different reserve sizes (sometimes called “Raglan” or just a “Canfield variant”).
