The Storehouse (Single Deck Solitaire Game)

Rules

1. Families are built upon the foundations in suit and ascending sequence, ending with ace.
2. Marriages are made from the pack upon the auxiliary cards, in suit and descending sequence down to ace, then king and downwards.
3. Cards as dealt, the exposed card of the reserve and of the talon, are available.

Play

Select the four deuces and arrange them in a row for the foundations to be built upon as in Rule 1.

Deal from the pack thirteen cards in a packet face upwards, and place them to the left of the foundations, for the reserve.

Deal the next four cards in a row below the foundations. These are the auxiliary cards.

Play all suitable cards upon the foundations, or upon the auxiliaries, according to Rule 2.

Unsuitable cards form a talon.

All vacancies in the auxiliary row may be filled from the talon, but preferably from the reserve, it being important to exhaust the reserve as soon as possible.

Two re-deals are permitted.
