Apophis

Goal

Fill all of the foundations.

At a glance

Like Pyramid, but with three waste piles. When drawing cards from the stock, one is dealt to all three waste piles.

Base game rules: Pyramid

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

The object is to use up all the cards by placing them on the single foundation.

You can only put a card on top of another card when the numerical values of the two cards adds up to 13. Queen is worth 12 and Jack is worth 11. You do not have to follow suit.

All Kings go off alone.
