Ladies Battle

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

All of the queens are dealt to four foundation piles on the right, while the jacks are dealt to four reserve piles on the left. A card is dealt to each of six tableau piles. The tableau piles are built down by alternate color, turning the corner from ace to king as necessary, and only single cards can be moved between tableau piles. Empty tableau piles are immediately filled from talon. Once the talon is empty, they can be filled with any card.

When there are no moves left, you can deal one card from the talon to each tableau pile. The foundations are built up from queen to jack, turning the corner from king to ace. The jacks in the reserve can only be moved to the foundations. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
