PySol - Rules for Well

# Well

Two-Deck game type. 2 decks. 4 redeals.

### Object

Move all the cards to the foundations.

### Rules

Ten cards are dealt to each of four reserve piles, arranged in a diamond pattern in the center of the play area. A single card is dealt to each of four tableau piles, one dealt next to each of the reserves. The tableau piles are built up by same suit, and if they are empty, they are immediately filled with the top card from the adjacent reserve. If the reserve is empty, that pile can be filled with any card. Cards from the reserve can also be freely moved to any tableau pile or foundation, though cards cannot be placed in the reserve.

There is one additional tableau pile that is set aside from the others. An ace can be dealt to start this pile, and it can be built up by same suit like the other.

When there are no moves left, you can deal cards from the stock to each of five waste piles, and the cards from these waste piles can be moved to tableau or foundation piles. When the stock is empty, you can combine the waste piles to form a new stock and redeal. You are allowed four redeals, though during each redeal, you use one fewer waste pile than you did on the previous deal.

The foundations are built down by same suit from king to ace, then turning the corner from ace to king, and built down to ace a second time. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
