Virginia Reel is a variation of Royal Parade,
intended to be an improvement to that game.
Gameplay is similar except cards are not dealt to replace empty piles in the
bottom row of the tableau. Additionally, if any empty spaces are left in the
top three rows of the tableau, they must be filled immediately. If they cannot,
no additional cards can be drawn from the stock until they are filled.
Also, a two, three, and four are dealt to the leftmost tableau piles at the
start of the game.

Similarly, the layout consists of three rows of playing piles, a row for
newly-dealt cards, and a castoff pile for Aces.
All Aces are cast off to the pile on the right. Use the <A> key.
When you clear a space on the tableau, you can only fill it with the right card:
You build up sequences incrementing by three, up to
the face cards. Thus, in the first row, each pile is 2-5-8-Jack, in the
second row 3-6-9-Queen, and in the third row, 4-7-10-King. Once a sequence has
been started, you have to follow suit.
If you clear a space at the bottom it will get automatically filled
with a card from the talon. If the talon is empty, clear spaces in the talon
cannot be filled.Base game rules: Virginia Reel

Additionally, the position of two cards on the tableau can be swapped
if both of them would end up in the correct row as a result.
