Queen of Tarot

The ancient wisdom of the cards

Wheel of Fortune

Tarock type. 1 deck. No redeal.

Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

Rules

Cards on the tableau build down by suit. Only two cards can be placed on a row stack. Only one card can be moved at a time. Any card can be played on an empty row stack. The foundations build up in rank from the Ace by suit. Cards are dealt from the talon two at a time.

Strategy

Keeping one or more open row stacks is critical in the early stages of the game since the cards are dealt two at a time. It’s also important not to let low ranked cards get buried too deep in the waste stack. Do all you can to place as many cards as possible on the row stacks.
