Description

UpDownDeal is a card solitaire with two playing modes: I) dealing the cards one by one, and only for one time; and II) Dealing cards two at a time, so the first in the stack is hidden when flipped, but when the dealing deck is completely spent, it could be refilled with the cards remaining in the discard pile and continue the game.

• 4 foundation piles (right) – build up in suit from Ace to King.
• 4 tableau piles (Left/Up) – build ascending rank by alternate color.
• 4 tableau piles (Left/Down) – build descending rank by alternate color.
• 1 dealing deck
• 1 discard pile

Objective

To orderly move all the cards to the foundations.

Rules

• Cards can be moved individually, or as a group, to an empty tableau
• Cards can be moved individually, or as a group, from one tableau pile to another, provided that the rank order of the target pile -ascendant/descendant-, and color alternance are maintained. This is true:
• Always, when moving cards between different sequence tableaus, i.e., descending to ascending, and vice versa
• Only if there is an empty tableau, when moving cards between same-sequence tableaus
• Once a card is dragged from the discard pile to, and accepted by, one of the tableau piles permitted by the rules, it can’t be dragged back to the discard pile
• Once a card is dragged to the foundations, it can’t be moved back to the tableau
