The Dial, No. 1 (Single Deck Solitaire Game)


Rules

  1. Cards of the same denomination are played upon the dial in alternate colors.
  2. Cards as dealt, and the exposed card of the talon, are available.

Play

Deal the cards from the pack one by one. As each card of the diamond suit appears, place it in its proper place on the dial, the king in the centre, as seen in the Tableau.

As soon as any foundations have been filled, cards of the same denomination are played upon them, but only in alternate colors.

Unsuitable cards form a talon.

Two re-deals are permitted.

If successful, each of the foundations will consist of four cards in alternate colors.
