Puss in the Corner

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Four foundations are dealt in a square, with an ace dealt to each. The foundations are built up by same color from ace to king.

Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time, and can be dealt to one of four tableau piles in the corners of the play area, or an appropriate foundation. Cards moved to the tableau piles can only be moved to the foundations. If the talon is empty, these four piles can be combined to make a new talon. This can only be done once.

The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
