Royal Rendezvous

Two-Deck game type. 2 decks. No redeal.

Object

Move all the cards to the foundations.

Rules

There are eight foundations, structured as follows:

• On the top row, four foundations built up by same suit from ace to king. An ace of each suit is dealt to each of these.
• On the top row, to the left and right of the first foundations, two pairs of foundations that only accept a single king of each suit each.
• On the bottom row, a set of found foundations built up by same suit using odd-numbered ranks, from ace to jack. These are built in the sequence A-3-5-7-9-J. The remaining four aces are dealt to these foundations.
• On the bottom row, two pairs of foundations on each side of the ace foundation mentioned above. These are built up by suit from twos, using the even numbered ranks, in the sequence 2-4-6-8-10-Q. A two of each suit is dealt to each of these.

Sixteen cards are dealt to reserve piles. Cards from these reserves can only be moved to the foundation. Empty reserve piles are filled from the waste pile. Cards are dealt one at a time from the talon to the waste pile, and can also be moved to the foundations. No redeal is allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
