PySol - Rules for Great Wheel

# Great Wheel

Two-Deck game type. 2 decks. No redeal.

### Object

Fill all of the foundations.

### Rules

There are two rows of foundations, one for odd cards and one for even cards. As such, the odd foundations (the top row) are built 3-5-7-9-J, and the even foundations (the bottom row) are built 2-4-6-8-10-Q. These piles are built up by suit. The kings are not used in this game.

Aces are placed in a separate castoff pile. This pile is built up by alternating colors.

Eight stacks of four cards are dealt. The top card of each of these piles may be played to an appropriate foundation. You may turn over cards in the talon to the waste pile one at a time, and the top card of the waste pile may also be played to an appropriate foundation.

If one of the eight stacks is empty, deal four cards from the top of the waste pile to form a new stack to replace it. If there are no cards in the waste pile, deal from the talon instead.

Once the talon is empty, you may move cards between the stacks, building down by suit, or playing any card on empty stacks once the waste pile is empty. The game is won when all of the foundations are filled.
