Toad

Also known as Toad in the Hole

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt from the stock 13 at a time. These cards can be moved to one of five tableau stacks. Tableau piles can be built up regardless of suit or rank, but cards on the tableau can only be moved to foundations.

Foundations are built up by same suit. Once all 13 cards are moved to a tableau or foundation pile, 13 more cards are dealt from the stock.

The game is won if all the cards are moved to the foundations.
