Agnes Bernauer solitaire rules (1 deck of cards)<< Aces Up | Agnes Sorel >>
Goal: One card is dealt to determine the starting rank for the 'foundation' piles. Move out the other 3 when you can, and build them up to piles of 13 cards each in the same suit. Aces play onto kings.
Build the 7 piles of the layout down in alternating suit color. Kings play onto aces. You can move a sequence of cards from the top of a pile. Empty piles can be filled with a card that is one rank lower than the starting rank.
Each time you are done making moves, deal a new card to each of the 7 'reserve' piles. These cards are available for play, but you can not build cards onto them. When the last 2 cards of the deck are reached, they are turned up and available for play.
Also known as: Agnes
Variation of: Klondike
Difference: The layout is dealt face up. A reserve of 7 piles replaces the waste. The base rank is determined by one dealt card. There is no redeal. The last 2 cards of the deck are turned up and available for play.
This is one of two similar games originally titled "Agnes". To distinguish them, David Parlett gave them unique names.
