Royal Cotillion Solitaire

2 decks. Average. No redeal.

Royal Cotillion Solitaire uses two decks (104 cards). You have 16 tableau piles with one card in each pile and 4 reserve piles (with 3 cards in each pile). You also have 8 foundation piles. Aces and Twos of each suit are moved to the foundations as they become available during play.

The object of the game

• build up the left four foundations by twos in suit, starting with Ace (Ace,3,5,7,9,J,K,2,4,6,8,10,Q) and

• build up the right four foundations by twos in suit, starting with 2 (2,4,6,8,10,Q,Ace,3,5,7,9,J,K).

The rules
Each tableau pile may contain only one card. All cards in tableaus, the top cards of reserve piles, stock and waste piles, are available to play. Spaces in tableaus are filled from waste or stock piles. Empty reserve piles cannot be filled.

When you have made all the moves initially available, begin turning over cards from the stock pile.

There is no redeal.
