Surukh

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

The cards build down by rank in alternating force on the tableau, no more than twelve to a row. Only the Rajas may be played on an empty row.

How to play

All cards are dealt to the sixteen rows when the games begins. Cards on the tableau build down in rank in alternating force. See the general Ganjifa rules for more information. The easy way to remember the force of a suit is that the foundations to the left are one force and the foundations to the right are the other. The foundations build up by suit. Any card or sequence may be played on an empty row.
