Noumea

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

The four aces are dealt to the foundations, and 20 cards are dealt to reserve piles. The reserve piles can hold a single card and are automatically filled from the waste or talon when empty.

There is no building on the tableau piles, so you can only move cards to the foundations.

When there are no moves left, you can deal cards three at a time from the talon, and move them to an appropriate foundation. Two redeals are allowed, so you can go through the deck three times. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
