Grand Duchess

Numerica type. 2 decks. 3 redeals.

Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

Rules

A card is dealt to each of four tableau piles, and one card is dealt face-down to two reserve piles, one on each side of the tableau. Building on the tableau is not allowed, and cards in the tableau can only be moved to foundations.

One set of foundations for each suit is built up by suit from ace to king, and one set is built down by suit from king to ace.

When there are no moves left, deal a card to each tableau and reserve pile, from left to right. Cards dealt to the reserves are dealt face-down, but when the stock is empty, both full reserves are flipped face-up. After the stock is empty, you can combine all six piles to form a new stock, and redeal. You can do this a max of three times. After the third redeal, the reserves are no longer used, and cards are only dealt to tableau piles.

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