Banner Solitaire

2 decks. Difficult. 2 redeals.

Banner Solitaire uses 104 cards (2 decks). 8 cards are dealt to the reserve pile. 8 tableau piles with one card in each pile are dealt to the left and to the right of the reserve pile.

All cards in tableaus and the top card of the waste pile are available to play.

When any tableaus are empty you can fill the space by any card from stock or waste.

The foundation pile is placed over the reserve pile. A card of rank one point higher than the top card from the reserve pile is moved to the foundation as a starter card. You can build the foundation up, wrapping from King to Ace as necessary, until the foundation pile contains 13 cards. Then the top card of the reserve pile is moved to the foundation and all cards are removed from the foundation pile. The next top card of the reserve pile defines the next starter card of the foundation pile.
