Chamberlain

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Like Gloaming, but with four reserve piles of thirteen cards, only three tableau piles, and the foundations are built up by rank, regardless of suit.

Base game rules: Gloaming

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

All of the cards are dealt into three reserve piles (2 with 17 cards and one with 18). Cards can be moved from these reserve piles to one of five tableau piles or the foundations.

Cards can be placed in tableau piles regardless of rank or suit, but cards in tableau piles can only be moved to foundations.

Foundations are built up by suit, starting with aces. The game is won if all cards are moved to foundations.
