PySol - Rules for Les Quatre Coins

# Les Quatre Coins

Two-Deck game type. 2 decks. 2 redeals.

### Object

Move all the cards to the foundations.

### Rules

Cards are dealt to two columns of six cards each. The top and bottom cards are the corner cards, and are placed slightly separate from the rest of the tableau. There are two columns of foundations between the middle four cards of each column.

First, an ace and king of each suit must be moved to the foundations, with the aces on the left and kings on the right, and cards of the same suit next to each other. Once an ace and king of each suit is in the foundation, the piles can be built further, with the ace piles built up by same suit to king and the king piles built down by same suit to ace. A card can only be moved to the foundation pile next to it, though corner cards can be moved to any foundation.

When there are no moves left, you can deal one card from the talon to each of the tableau piles. Once the talon is empty, you can build tableau piles up or down regardless of suit, and can move any card to the foundation, regardless of its position. Empty tableau piles cannot be filled. At this point, once there are no moves left, you can combine the tableau piles to form a new talon and redeal. You are allowed two redeals.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
