Granada

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Like Alhambra, but there are four waste piles. When drawing from the stock, one card is added to each pile. Cards from one waste pile can also be moved to another. When redealing, all of the piles are combined.

Base game rules: Alhambra

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

At the start of the game, an ace and a king of each suit are dealt to the foundations, and eight piles of four cards are dealt as reserves.

Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time to the waste pile. Cards from the reserves can be moved to the waste pile, which is built up or down by same suit. Cards from the reserve and waste pile can also be moved to the foundations.

After the stock is empty, flip the waste pile and go through the stock again, including the new cards that were added in that round. Two redeals are allowed, so you can go through the deck up to three times total.

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