Dashavatara

One Dashavatara Ganjifa deck. No redeal.

Object

Arrange the Ten Avatars in order.

Rules

Play is similar to Picture Gallery. The layout consists of three rows of playing piles, a row for newly dealt cards and three free cells that will hold one card each.

The cards must be arranged in the top three rows as follows:

• The top row must start with a three and build by suit in increments of three,
• the second row must with a two,
• and the third row must start with an Ace.

If you clear a space at the bottom it will be automatically filled with a card from the talon. But if the talon is gone and you clear a space at the bottom, then you can fill it with any card. You may move any card to the free cells from the tableau on top or the rows below, but only as long as there are cards left in the talon. When the talon is empty, you may only move cards from, not to the free cells. When no further moves are possible, click on the talon for a fresh row of cards at the bottom.

You win when all of the suits are arranged in order.

Strategy

Because of the many piles involved the Picture Gallery requires some concentration, but it is not too hard to win.
