Baroness

Also known as Five Piles, Foxfire 13

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.

Cards are dealt from the talon to the foundation five at a time. When there are only two cards left in the talon, they are placed in two reserve piles.

Pairs of cards can be removed 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.
