Base game rules: Tabby Cat

Goal

Move all cards to the foundation.

How to play

Foundations are built up from Ace to King, regardless of suit. One must move an entire Ace-to-King sequence to a foundation as one move.

The playing piles build down by rank, regardless of suit. A king may be played on an ace. An empty pile can receive any card, or sequence.

When no more moves are possible, select the talon. One card will be added to each of the playing piles.
