Spider type. 1 deck. No redeal.
Group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in descending sequence by suit from King to Ace.
22 cards are dealt in six columns. The tableau piles are built down by suit, but a card may be placed on any card of the same suit but a higher rank, even if the ranks are not consecutive. However, a group of cards can only be moved as a sequence if the ranks are consecutive.
Any card or sequence can fill empty spaces.
When no more moves are possible, click on the talon. One card will be added to each of the playing piles.
The game is won when all the cards are dealt into four sequences of the same suit, descending from King to Ace.
Autumn Leaves was invented by Toby Ord, and the name comes from how the cards can flutter between the stacks. More details can be found on his website.
