The Garden

Bouquet, Flower Garden, Parterre

For 1 Player - Level: Easy

Layout: Deal six columns of six overlapping cards. This is the garden.

Spread the remaining cards out in front of you. They are the bouquet. The layout looks like this:

The cards spread out at the bottom are available to play onto the layout, building down one by one regardless of suit.

As the foundations - the Aces - become available, they are placed above the layout.

To win the game: Build the Aces up in suit to Kings.

Play: Start building on the exposed cards at the bottom of the columns, one card at a time, and to the foundations. If a complete column is cleared away, the space may be filled by any available card. Every card of the bouquet is available for building at all times.
