Clover Leaf

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

The two black aces and red kings are moved to the foundations. The remaining cards are dealt to sixteen tableau piles of three cards each. Tableau piles are built up or down by same suit. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles, and an ace or king can fill an empty pile.

The red foundations are built down by same suit from king to ace, while the black foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
