PySol - Rules for Dutchess

# Dutchess

Canfield type. 1 deck. 1 redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

A card is dealt to each of four tableau piles. Three cards are dealt to each of four reserve piles. At the start of the game, one card from the top of the reserve must be moved to a foundation pile. This card is used as the base rank for the foundations. No other cards can be moved until this is done.

Tableau piles are built down by alternate color, wrapping from ace to king as necessary. Empty tableau piles can only be filled by the top card from one of the reserve piles. If the reserves are empty, any card or sequence can fill the empty piles.

Cards are dealt from the stock one at a time and can be moved to the tableau or foundations. You can only flip the deck and go through the deck once.

The foundation piles are built up by suit, starting from the base rank you set above, turning the corner from king to ace as necessary. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.

### Notes

Dutchess is a Canfield variation that was invented by Albert Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith. It also goes by the name Glenwood.
