Alhambra Solitaire

2 decks. Difficult. 2 redeals.

Alhambra Solitaire uses 104 cards (2 decks). You have 8 reserve piles with 4 cards per pile and 8 foundations. An Ace and King of each suit are removed from the deck to form the foundation piles.

The object of the game
Build the aces up in suit to kings, and the kings down in suit to aces.

The rules
Only the top card of each reserve pile is available for play on foundations and on the waste pile. You can build the waste pile up or down regardless of suit, wrapping from King to Ace and from Ace to King as necessary.

You cannot move cards on the reserve piles.

Turn over cards from the stock pile to the waste pile. The top card of the waste pile is available for play on foundations. You win when all cards are moved to the foundations.

There are two redeals.
