Object:
To move all of the cards to the foundation pile(s).
Rules:
Ace
foundation (1 pile)
- Build all aces to this pile
Foundations
(24 piles of 1 card each)
-
"Two" foundations - build up in suit by threes from 2, 5, 8 to J (for
example, a 5© may be played on a 2©).
-
"Three" foundations - build up in suit by threes from 3, 6, 9 to Q (for
example, a 6© may be played on a 3©).
-
"Four" foundations - build up in suit by threes from 4, 7, 10 to K
(for example, a 7© may be played on a 4©).
-
No building is allowed until the pile has the correct base
card for its row
(2s in the first row, 3s in the second row, and 4s in the third row).
-
Foundations base
cards (2s, 3s, or 4s) may be swapped if they are in
incorrect rows and swapping them would place both in the correct row.
This is done by dropping one card on top of the other and the swap will
occur automatically.
Tableau
(8 piles)
-
The top card is available for play.
- No building is allowed.
Stock
- Click to deal one card to each tableau pile.
- Dealing will not occur if any of the 24 foundation piles are empty.
Additional:
Because you can
not continue if there are any empty tableau piles, you will have to delay the
movement of cards until the appropriate row's base
card is dealt to the
tableau. This game is slightly easier to win than Financier
in that it will correctly place one 2, 3, and 4 from the beginning of the game.
