Australian Patience
Australian Patience is a patience or card solitaire using one deck of playing cards. This game is a challenging combination of Klondike and Scorpion, and is also closely related to Yukon. The object of the game is to move all of the cards to the Foundations.[1]
Rules[]
Australian Patience has four Foundations build up in suit from Ace to King, e.g. A♣, 2♣, 3♣, 4♣...
The seven depots of the Tableau are filled with piles of four cards each, which build down in suit, e.g. 8♥, 7♥, 6♥, 5♥...
Like Yukon, any face-up card can be moved, but all the unrelated cards on top of it will be moved also. Only a King (with or without a pile) can be moved to an empty space.[2]
Only one card is turned up at a time from the Deck, and these cards can be played onto the depots or the Foundations. Australian Patience only allows one pass through the deck.
The game can also be played between two players, each getting their own deck to deal from. The player who moves the most cards to their foundations is the winner.[3]
