PySol - Rules for Fechter's Game

# Fechter's Game

Spider type. 2 decks. No redeal.

### Object

Group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in descending sequence by alternate color from King to Ace and move such sets to the foundations.

### Rules

Four cards are dealt to each of twelve tableau piles, with alternating cards face-up and face-down (the bottom and third from the bottom cards are face-down). Tableau piles are built down by alternate color, and any card or valid sequence of cards can be moved between tableau piles. Only kings or sequences of cards starting with them can fill empty piles.

The object is to group the cards in sets of 13 cards, from King to Ace in an alternating color sequence. Such groups can be moved to the foundations.

When there are no moves left, you can deal one card from the talon to each tableau pile. However, if a tableau pile has a valid alternate color sequence at the top of it, starting with a king, that pile is skipped. The game is won if all cards are grouped into sequences and moved to the foundations.
