Hit or Miss

Also known as Roll Call

Goal

Move all cards to the foundation.

How to play

As you draw cards from the talon, one at a time, declare a card rank in sequence (ace to king, then start over from ace). If the drawn card matches the declared rank, that is a "Hit", and the card may be moved to the foundation. Otherwise, it is a "Miss". You can continue to redeal as many times as you need, until you go through the entire deck twice in a row without getting a single "Hit".
