Elevens

Also known as Eleven Away

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

Nine cards are dealt to the tableau. Pairs of cards that total eleven can be moved to the foundation, and the spaces are filled from the talon.

Picture cards are removed in a set of Jack, Queen, King. A single picture card of each type can be moved to the three reserves, and the tableau pile is filled behind it. Once the three reserves contain one of each picture card, they are all removed to the foundation.

The game is won if all cards have been discarded.
