Quick description

Cards are dealt from the talon three at a time. There is no limit on redeals. Cards may be played from the foundations.

This game is one of a series of games that have names ending in "pati" which transliterates as "lord of". Gajapati means "Lord of Elephants". The names are the names of the suits in a twelve suit Ganjifa deck.

Strategy

Uncover the deepest row stacks first. Play is simple but the odds against winning this one are high.
