# Terrace

Terrace type. 2 decks. No redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

At the start of the game, eleven cards are dealt into a reserve pile, and four cards are dealt into the first of nine tableau piles. One of these four cards must be played to the foundation. This card serves as the starting rank for building the foundation for the remainder of the game.

Once the first foundation card is chosen, deal five cards into the remaining five tableau piles. Cards may be moved between tableau piles one at a time, building down by alternating colors. Sequences can turn the corner, so kings can be played on aces. If a tableau pile is empty, fill the pile using the card from the top of the waste pile, or the stock if it's empty. If both are empty, any other card from the tableau may be moved there to fill the space.

Build up the foundations by alternating colors, starting with the first chosen rank, turning the corner from king to ace as necessary. The top card of the reserve may be played to an appropriate foundation pile, but not the tableau.

Cards may be dealt one at a time from the stock, and the card from the waste may be played to an appropriate foundation or tableau pile. No redeal is allowed.

### Strategy

Consider what cards are in the reserve when choosing your starting rank and choose carefully. The right or wrong card chosen at the very start can make or break the game.
