Floradora

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Six cards are dealt to each of six tableau piles. Tableau piles are built down by rank, regardless of suit. Single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Any card can be moved to empty piles. Cards can be dealt from the talon one at a time and played to foundations or tableau piles. No redeal is allowed.

Foundations are built up by suit from ace to queen. An additional foundation, placed below the talon, accepts the kings. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
