Goal
Move all cards to the waste stack.
At a glance
Just like Golf,
but sequences do wrap around,
i.e. Twos and Kings may be placed on Aces
and Queens and Aces may be placed on Kings.
Move all cards to the waste stack.
Build on the waste stack in sequence either up or down regardless of suit.
Only the top card is available for play on the piles. When no more moves are
possible, select the talon to deal a new card.
Sequences do not wrap around, i.e. only Twos may be placed on Aces
and only Queens may be placed on Kings.
Save Twos for Aces and Queens for Kings.Base game rules: Golf

Move all cards to the single foundation.
How to play
The object is to use up all the cards by placing them on the single foundation.
You can only put a card on top of another card when the numerical values of the two cards adds up to 13. Queen is worth 12 and Jack is worth 11. You do not have to follow suit.
All Kings go off alone.
