Adela

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A single card is dealt to each of nine tableau piles. The tableau piles are built up by same suit, and empty piles are immediately filled from the talon.

There are three rows of foundations. The first row is built down by suit, from Jack to Ace. The second row just contains a Queen of the same suit as the foundation above it, and the third similarly gets a single King. Cards cannot be moved to the second or third row foundations until the Jack has been dealt to the first row.

When there are no more moves, you can deal one card from the talon to each of the nine tableau piles. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
