Corners

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Like Four Seasons, but a card is dealt to each foundation at the start of the game and building on the tableau is not allowed. Also, two redeals are allowed.

Base game rules: Four Seasons

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Five cards are dealt to the tableau, in a cross shape. The four foundations are in the corners of the tableau. A single card is dealt to one of the foundations - this is the base rank for the foundations for this game.

Tableau piles are built down by rank, regardless of suit. The foundations are built up by suit. Both wrap from ace to king as necessary. Single cards can be moved between tableau piles and any card can fill an empty pile.

Cards can be dealt from the talon one at a time. The last dealt card can be moved to an appropriate tableau pile or foundation. No redeal is allowed.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
