Eagle Wing

1 Deck.

Object

To move all the cards to the Foundations.

Layout

  • 4 Foundation piles (top) - build up in suit from the starting card to King, then Ace, until each pile contains 13 cards.
  • 8 Tableau piles (the wings) - build down in suit, limit of 3 cards per pile, wrapping from Ace to King as necessary. Groups of cards may be moved. Spaces are filled from the Reserve (or Trunk) until it is empty, then by any card.
  • Reserve or Trunk (middle) - cards may be moved to the Tableau or Foundations.
  • Stock (face down, bottom left) - turn over cards one at a time by clicking.
  • Waste (next to Stock) - top card is available for play.

Play

13 cards are dealt face down into what is called the Trunk. The top card of the Trunk is turned face up. Then 8 cards are dealt face up into what are called the "wings". Finally, one card is dealt face up on the Foundation.

All cards of the same rank as the first Foundation card are played to the other spaces in the Foundation as soon as they become available. The Foundations are built up in suit until they contain 13 cards, Aces wrapping around on top of Kings.

Any top card in the Wings can be played to the Foundation. Cards can be placed on other cards in the Wings if they are of the same suit and one lower in rank. (For example, a 3 or hearts can be played on a 4 of hearts). Kings wrap around on top of Aces. There is a limit of 3 cards in each Wing. Cards can be moved from one Wing to another, if this is possible by the rules about suits and ranks, and if the 3 card limit is not exceeded. Any open spaces in the Wings are automatically filled from the trunk until the Trunk is empty. Then open spaces can be filled from the Stock, Waste, or other Wings.

The remainder of the deck is placed in the stock. Move cards from the stock to the waste one at a time. The top card of the Wastepile is always available for play on the Wings or Foundation.

When the stock is empty, the Waste can be redealt by clicking on the empty Stock, assuming that a redeal is allowed. There are two redeals.

The game is won if all 52 cards are placed on the Foundation.
