PySol - Rules for Big Ben

# Big Ben

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

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

A circle of twelve cards are dealt out to the foundations. The two of clubs is dealt in the nine o'clock position, each pile clockwise dealt with a rank one higher, in suit order clubs-hearts-spades-diamonds, leading to the king of diamonds in the eight o'clock position. The remaining cards are dealt out to eight piles of five cards each.

Move cards to the foundations until the top of each foundation is the clock number for that position. Jack equals 11, Queen equals 12, and Aces must be placed on Kings. The foundations are built up by same suit.

The playing piles build down by same suit. Only the top card is available for play, and empty rows cannot be filled. When there are no moves left, you can deal cards from the talon to the tableau piles until each pile has at least three cards. If the piles already have at least three cards each, the remaining talon cards can be dealt one at a time.

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