How to play

Game play is like Klondike. The rows build down in rank in alternate color. Any card or sequence may be played on an empty row. The Wizards will play in their proper rank position on the tableau as the alternate of either red or black. Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time. Cards may be played from the foundations.

Playing tips

Play cards back off of the foundations to uncover face down cards.

General Hex A Deck rules

Base game rules: Klondike

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King.

The playing piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can only be filled by a King or a sequence starting with a King.

When you select the talon, one card is turned over onto the waste pile. There is no limit to the number of times you go through the talon.

You are also permitted to move cards back out of the foundations.
