Appreciate

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Just like One234, but you can build in the tableau, down by rank, regardless of suit, turning the corner from ace to king as needed. The first two piles are built down by 1, the second two are built down by 2, the third two are built down by 3, and the last two are built down by 4.

Empty piles can be filled by a card that's the same rank as the final card that would be played to the foundation built up by the same amount.

Base game rules: One234

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Like Calculation, but using an eight column tableau instead of a stack and waste pile.

How to play

The four foundations build regardless of suit the following way: The first pile by one. The second pile by two. The third pile by three. The fourth pile by four. 

1:  2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T J Q K
2:  4 6 8 T Q A 3 5 7 9 J K
3:  6 9 Q 2 5 8 J A 4 7 T K
4:  8 Q 3 7 J 2 6 T A 5 9 K

Cards are dealt into eight columns of six cards, and the remaining four cards are dealt to the foundations. Building on the tableau is not allowed. Cards in the tableau may be moved to an appropriate foundation at any time. The game is won when all cards have been moved to the foundations.

Base game rules: Calculation

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be played to the foundations.

The four foundations build regardless of suit the following way: The first pile from Ace, by one. The second pile from Two, by two. The third pile from Three, by three. The fourth pile from Four, by four. 

1:  A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 T J Q K
2:  2 4 6 8 T Q A 3 5 7 9 J K
3:  3 6 9 Q 2 5 8 J A 4 7 T K
4:  4 8 Q 3 7 J 2 6 T A 5 9 K
Once on a stack, a card can only be moved onto a foundation. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
