Fascination Fan

Also known as Demon Fan

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

17 piles of three cards are dealt, and the last card is dealt to an eighteenth pile. Only the top card of each pile is visible. Piles are built down by alternating color. Empty piles can't be filled.

When no more moves are possible, select the talon. All cards on the tableau will be re-shuffled and redealt in the same manner, with only the top cards again being visible. Six redeals are allowed.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
