EastHaven

1 Deck.

Object

To move all the cards to the Foundations.

Layout

  • 4 Foundation piles - build up in suit from Ace to King.
  • 7 Tableau piles - build down in alternating colors. Move groups of cards in descending sequence of alternate colors. Fill spaces with Kings or groups of cards with a King at the bottom.
  • Stock - When play on the tableau stops, deal a row of 1 card to each Tableau pile.

Play

At the beginning of the game, 3 cards are dealt face down to each Tableau pile. Then 1 card is dealt face up on each pile. Move Aces to the Foundations as they become available. Build Foundations up in suit to Kings. Build Tableau piles down in alternate colors. The top card of each Tableau pile is available for play on another Tableau pile or the Foundations. Groups of cards in the tableau may be moved, as long as they form a descending sequence of alternating colors. An empty space can only be filled by a King or a legal group of cards with a King at the bottom.

Whenever there are no more possible plays on the Tableau, another group of 7 cards is dealt to the tableau from the Stock. One card from the Stock is then placed face up on each tableau pile (note that this may block out the previous cards). The last 3 cards of the Stock are dealt to the first 3 Tableau piles.

History

EastHaven is a variation of Klondike. It is also known as Aces Up. The difficult part of this game is that the new cards dealt can completely ruin the tableau.
