Base game rules: Fan

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to 18 piles - 17 with three cards and the last one with one.

The 18 piles build down by suit. Only one card can be moved at a time, and empty piles can be filled with a King only.

The foundations are built up by same suit. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
