Ghulam

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

The cards build down by rank and by suit on the tableau, no more than twelve to a row. Any card or movable pile may be played on an empty row.

How to play

All cards are dealt to the fourteen rows when the games begins. Cards on the tableau build down by suit in descending rank order. The foundations build up by suit. Any card or movable pile may be played on an empty row. The four reserve stacks hold one card each.

Playing tips

The first priority is to empty a row. Then don't fill it unless it or another row can be emptied by doing so.
