Rules
- FAMILIES are built upon the foundations in suit and in ascending sequence.
- The exposed card of the pack as the cards are dealt, and the exposed card of the talon, are available.
Play
The Tableau is formed by four foundation cards, one of each suit, each card being so selected that if the families are successfully completed, the result will be the date of the year.
To produce this result, each of the foundation cards must be one card higher in denomination than the digits which form the date.
The Tableau here given is for 1899: the foundation cards are therefore the deuce of spades, nine of hearts, ten of diamonds, and ten of clubs.
In case a zero (0) should occur in the date, —1900 for instance, —zero is represented by the ten-spot, and the foundation card to correspond would be a knave.
One re-deal is permitted.
