Voracious

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

At a glance

Like Grandee, but with twelve piles, and cards from the talon are dealt one at a time and can be moved to appropriate tableau piles or foundations, with no redeal allowed. Also, empty tableau piles are immediately filled from the waste pile, and if the waste and talon are empty, empty tableau piles cannot be filled.

Base game rules: Grandee

Goal

Move all the cards to the foundations.

How to play

A card is dealt to each of fourteen tableau piles. The tableau piles are built down by same suit, arranged so only the top card of each is visible. Only single cards can be moved between piles and empty piles can be filled by any card.

When there are no moves left, you can deal one card from the top of the stock to each tableau pile.

The foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
