Precedence

Also known as Order of Precedence, Succession

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

At the start of the game, one king is moved to the leftmost of eight foundations.

Deal cards from the stock one at a time. Cards from the waste pile may be moved to foundations, which are built down by rank, wrapping down from ace to king as necessary. A card cannot be placed in a foundation unless the foundation to the left of it has cards in it.

The leftmost foundation starts with a king, and each foundation starts with one rank lower than the one to the left of it. Therefore, the foundations begin with K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6 from left to right, and are built to A-K-Q-J-10-9-8-7 respectively.

You can go through the talon three times. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
