Three Pirates

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt to ten tableau piles of four cards each. Tableau piles are built down by same suit. Only single cards can be moved between tableau piles.

Cards can be dealt from the talon three at a time, one to each of three waste piles. Cards from the waste piles can be moved to tableau piles or foundations.

Foundations are built up by suit, from ace to king. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
