Terrace |

2 Decks. Hard (5%). Mostly Skill. Object To move all the cards to the foundations. Layout
• | 8 foundation piles (middle) - build up in alternate color from the rank of first card moved to the first pile, wrapping from King to Ace as necessary, until each pile contains 13 cards.
• | 9 tableau piles (below foundations) - build down by alternate color. Only the top card of each pile may be moved. Spaces may be filled by a card from the waste only. At the start of the game 1 card is dealt face up to the first 4 piles. One of these cards is selected to be the foundation base card by moving it to the first foundation pile. After a card is so moved 1 card is dealt face up to the remaining empty piles.
• | reserve (top) - top card is available for play on the foundations only. At the start of the game 11 cards are dealt here.
• | stock (top left, face down) - turn over cards 1 at a time to the waste by clicking. No redeals, except that when the stock is empty the waste may be turned over to form a new stock by clicking on the empty stock. Cards may then then be played to the foundations or tableau until an unplayable card is reached (which ends the game).
• | waste (next to stock) - top card is available for play on the foundations or tableau.
Tips
• | The restriction on play of cards in the reserve makes this game difficult. Note that it is extremely important which card you begin the game with by moving it to the first foundation pile. Examine the reserve closely to make the best choice. If there are several Sixes in the reserve, for example, you wouldn't want to pick a Six, or even a Five or Four as your foundation base.
