The Last Monarch II

Goal

Move 103 cards (all cards except the last King) to the foundations.

At a glance

Like The Last Monarch, but played with two decks. Half of the cards are dealt at the start of the game and the other half are in a stock pile. When a card is removed from the tableau, a card is dealt from the stock to replace it until the stock is empty.

Base game rules: The Last Monarch (Der letzte Monarch)

Goal

Move 51 cards (all cards except the last King) to the foundations.

How to play

Cards on the tableau must be captured by one of their left, right, top or bottom neighbour. The captured card is then moved to the foundations or Reserves, and the capturing card moves into place.

Cards from the reserve can only be moved to the foundations.
