Base game rules: Uintah

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Uintah is a variation of Robert and Wasatch with four foundations.

At the start of the game, one random card of each suit is placed on each of the foundations.

Cards are dealt from the stock in threes. Cards from the waste pile can be moved to the foundation, building up or down by rank, of the same colors.

The sequence wraps around, so aces can be played on kings, and vice versa.

The game is won when all of the cards have been moved to the foundations.

Base game rules: Robert

Deal cards one at a time from the stock. Cards from the waste pile can be moved to the foundation, building up or down by rank. You are allowed to redeal twice, meaning you can go through the deck a total of three times.
