Eiffel Tower

Goal

Move all cards to the tableau piles.

How to play

This is a very simple game, which takes its name from the shape of the layout. The object is to use up all the cards from the talon, placing them on the Tower. You can only put a card on top of another card when the numerical values of the two cards adds up to 14. King is worth 13, Queen is worth 12 and Jack is worth 11. You do not have to follow suit.

You win when the talon is all gone. There is no redeal.
