Hayagriva

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

The cards build down by rank only on the tableau, no more than twelve to a row. Only the Rajas may be played on an empty row.

How to play

All cards are dealt to the sixteen rows when the games begins. Cards on the tableau build down in rank only. The foundations build up by suit. Only a Raja or sequence may be played on an empty row. The four reserve stacks hold one card each.

Playing tips

An empty row is somewhat more useful than the reserve stacks. Try for an empty row.
