Mughal Ganjifa · Game rules

Tipati

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Play is similar to Klondike. The rows build down by rank regardless of suit.

How to play

The cards on the tableau build down by rank. The foundations build up in rank by suit starting with the Ace. Only the Mirs (Kings) may be played on an empty row. Cards are dealt from the talon one at a time. There are no redeals. Cards may not be played from the foundations.

This game is one of a series of games that have names ending in "pati" which transliterates as "lord of". Tipati means "Lord (Highest/Queen) of Women". The names are the names of the suits in a twelve suit Ganjifa deck.

Playing tips

Move cards back and forth on the rows to make every play possible. Don't let the waste stack get too deep.

About Ganjifa

Base game rules: Klondike

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King.

The playing piles build down by alternate color, and an empty space can only be filled by a King or a sequence starting with a King.

When you select the talon, one card is turned over onto the waste pile. There is no limit to the number of times you go through the talon.

You are also permitted to move cards back out of the foundations.
