Waterfall

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

Cards are dealt to eight piles of four cards each. Tableau piles are built down by rank, regardless of suit. Any card or valid sequence of cards can be moved. Any card or sequence can fill an empty space. If there are no moves left, you can deal one card from the talon to each tableau pile.

The single foundation is built up by same suit, starting with the ace of clubs, through the king of clubs. Once the king has been played, the ace of the next suit is the next card to be played to the foundation. The sequence of suits is as follows:

  • Clubs
  • Spades
  • Hearts
  • Diamonds

After the king of diamonds is played, the suit changes back to clubs, and so on until all the cards have been moved to the foundation, and the game is won.
