1 Deck.  Hard (33%).  All Luck.

 

Object

To discard all the cards.

 

Layout

13 tableau piles - the top card is available for play.  Discard pairs of cards that have ranks that add to 10 (9-A, 8-2, 7-3, 6-4, 5-5). Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are discarded in sets of the same rank (10-10-10-10, for example).   Spaces are automatically filled from the stock.   To discard a set of cards, move each card to the reserve pile in the lower left.  When a set is formed, or when cards of rank 9 or under add to 10, the cards are automatically discarded to the waste pile.   Pairs of cards that add to 10 can also be discarded by dropping one on the other if there are no cards in the reserve.  At the start of the game 1 card is dealt face up to each pile.

 

stock (face down, left) - fills spaces in the tableau.

 

waste (far right)  - Where paired cards go out of play.

 

reserve (lower left) - where sets of cards are formed.

A-9, 2-8, 3-7, 4-6, 5-5, 10-10-10-10, Jack-Jack-Jack-Jack, Queen-Queen-Queen-Queen, King-King-King-King.
