Like Gypsy, but with a triangular layout, with ten tableau piles, with an increasing number of cards in each. Also, only kings can be moved to empty tableau piles.

Base game rules: Gypsy

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

The eight playing piles in the tableau all start with two cards face-down and one showing. Piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can be filled with any card or sequence.

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

You are also permitted to move cards back out of the foundation.

Playing tips

Making heavy use of the Undo key is explicitly encouraged here - you can win quite a number of games with a little bit of thought.
