Eagle Wing

Also known as Thirteen Down

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Eight cards are dealt to eight tableau piles, positioned to resemble a bird's wings. In the middle, thirteen cards are dealt to a reserve face-down. Tableau piles are built down by same suit, wrapping from ace to king as needed, though a max of three cards can be in each tableau pile. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles, and empty tableau piles are filled immediately from the top card of the reserve.

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be moved to the tableau or foundation. Two redeals are allowed.

At the start of the game, one card is dealt to the foundations. The foundations are built up by suit, starting from the rank of that first dealt card, wrapping from king to ace as necessary. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
