Agnes Bernauer

Objective

To build the 4 Foundations up in Ascending Family Sequence from Ace to King.

Layout

- This game is played with a single pack of 52, well shuffled, playing cards.
- The Tableau (T) consists of 28 cards dealt in 7 columns of 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 cards (from left to right respectively). All cards are dealt face-up.
- The Discards (D) starts with 1 face-up card each.
- The Stock (S) starts with the 17 remaining cards, all face-down.
- The Foundations (F) start empty, waiting for building.

Rules

- The Tableau is built in Descending Alternate Color Sequence. The exposed card of each Tableau column can be moved to another Tableau column or to the Foundations if it fits the target pile building rules. Also, a partial pack of exposed cards, forming a valid suit, can be moved to another Tableau column if the head card fits the target pile building rules. When a Tableau column is cleared out the space may only be filled by a King or a valid suit headed by a King.
- The Foundations are built in Ascending Family Sequence. The exposed card of any Foundation can be moved to the Tableau if it fits the target pile building rules.
- The Stock accepts no building. When activated, the Stock deals 1 card, face-up, to each Discard. No redeal.
- The Discards accept no building. Only cards dealt from the Stock can fill the Discards. The exposed cards of the Discards are available for play to the Tableau or to the Foundations as long as it fits the target pile building rules.

Notes

Agnes Bernauer is a variation of Klondike. The main difference being that the Stock deals 7 Discards instead of a single Waste. Although there is no redeal, this game comes out more often than Klondike. Also the fact that the Tableau is made of open cards makes this game more interesting.
