Three Shuffles and a Draw: Aces Up

Also known as Three Shuffles and a Draw Aces Up

Goal

Build all fan cards onto the four suit foundations.

Starting layout

Deal one 52-card deck into eighteen fan piles, with four foundations, one talon for reshuffles, and one draw reserve. There is no ordinary waste pile.

How to play

Move one top fan card at a time. Build fan piles down by suit and foundations up by suit. Empty fan piles are not filled. You may reshuffle twice and use one draw action to move a selected lower fan card to the draw reserve.

Winning the game

Win when all cards are on the four foundations after at most two reshuffles and the one draw.
