How to play La Belle Lucie Solitaire

  1. 1Move every card to the four foundations, building each up by suit from Ace to King.
  2. 2The whole deck is dealt face up into seventeen fans of three cards and one fan of a single card. Only the top card of each fan can move.
  3. 3A top card can go to its foundation, or onto the top card of another fan that is one higher in the same suit (the 6♥ on the 7♥). A fan that runs out of cards stays empty.
  4. 4When you’re stuck, shuffle: every card still in the fans is gathered, shuffled and dealt out again in threes. You get two shuffles.
  5. 5After the last shuffle you get one favor: pull a single buried card out of any fan and play it.
  6. 6Pick a card, then tap where it should go — or drag it there. A top card that can go to a foundation goes straight there when you tap it.
