Lafayette Solitaire

The goal of Lafayette is to move all fifty-two cards to the foundation piles. You achieve this by building sequences of cards up by the same suit that start with an Ace and end with a King. You win when the four foundations each contain a complete sequence of thirteen cards.

• There are four aces foundations.
• The aces foundations are initially empty.
• The aces foundations build up by the same suit.
• For example the 2♠ may move onto the A♠ and the 2♦ may move onto the A♦. Starting with the 2♣ the following sequence may build on top 3♣ 4♣ 5♣ 6♣.
• An Ace may move to an empty aces foundation.

• There are four kings foundations.
• The kings foundations are initially empty.
• The kings foundations build down by the same suit.
• For example the 5♠ may move onto the 6♠ and the 5♥ may move onto the 6♥. Starting with the 5♣ the following sequence may build on top 4♣ 3♣ 2♣ A♣.
• A King may move to an empty kings foundation.

• There are four tableaus.
• Initially containing one card face up in each tableau.
• The tableaus build down by alternating color.
• For example the 5♠ may move onto the 6♦ and the 5♥ may move onto the 6♣. Starting with the 5♥ the following sequence may build on top 4♠ 3♦ 2♣.
• Sequences of cards built down by alternating color may move together as a group.
• Empty spaces are automatically populated with a card from the reserve. When the reserve is empty a Seven may move to an empty tableau.

• There is one reserve.
• Initially containing twelve cards face down and one card face up in the reserve.
• The top card is movable.
• Once empty the reserve remains empty.

• The stock deals three card face up to the waste when tapped.
• An unlimited number of passes through the stock is permitted. There is no restriction on how many times the waste can be redealt to the stock.

• There is one waste.
• The waste is initially empty.
• The top card is movable.
• Once empty the waste remains empty until more cards move from the stock.
