Flow

Goal

Move all cards to the tableau, in four columns with complete sequences from king to ace.

At a glance

Like Wave Motion, but cards and card sequences can be moved between reserve piles. Like the tableau piles, the reserve stacks are built down by same suit, but only a single card can be used to fill an empty reserve stack.

Base game rules: Wave Motion

Goal

Move all cards to the tableau, in four columns with complete sequences from king to ace.

How to play

The cards are dealt into eight reserve stacks, and the top card of any of these stacks may be moved to one of eight tableau stacks, one at a time. Cards may not be moved between the reserve stacks.

The tableau stacks are built down by suit. Any sequence of cards in the tableau stacks may be moved to another appropriate tableau stack. The game is won when four stacks contain complete sequences from king to ace.
