Last Chance

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

At the start of the game, one card is dealt face-down as a reserve pile. This is the last chance card.

Six cards are dealt to six tableau piles. Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time, and are immediately played to a tableau or foundation pile. Tableau piles can be built regardless of suit or rank. Empty tableau piles can be filled by cards from other tableau piles, but otherwise, cards on tableau piles can't be moved.

Once the stock and waste piles are empty, the last chance card is flipped up and can be played to a foundation pile.

Foundations are built up by suit, starting from ace.
