Also known as The Garden or Bouquet.
Layout
| • | Thirty-six cards dealt to six tableau piles spread downward. |
| • | A "bouquet" (or reserve) of sixteen cards at the left of the tableau. |
Play
| • | The top cards of the tableau piles are available for play on foundations or other tableau piles. |
| • | Only one card at a time may be moved. |
| • | Build tableau piles down in value (any suit). |
| • | A space made by clearing a tableau pile may be filled by any available card from the tableau or the bouquet. |
| • | Any cards from the bouquet may be played to the tableau or a foundation at any time. |
Foundations
| • | Move the four Aces to the row above the tableau as they are made available. |
| • | Build the foundations in ascending suit sequence from Ace to King. |
To Win
| • | Move all the cards to the foundations. |
Tips: It may not always be advantageous to move cards from the bouquet to the tableau. Work to release low-valued cards if buried in the tableau under higher-valued cards of the same suit. Open spaces are a mixed blessing as working to obtain an open space can bury lower-valued cards in other piles.
Scoring: One point for each card moved to a foundation. Maximum score is 52.
Chance of Winning: 1 in 3 games.
