Ultimate Book Of Card Games: The Comprehensive Guide To More Than 350 Games - Plot & Excerpts
The games share an “every second card” foundation-building scheme. This feature, plus the fact that you may not build on the Royal Cotillion tableau, gives the game an added layer of difficulty. The odds of winning are 1 in every 9 hands. HOW TO DEAL Start with two fifty-two-card decks (104 cards total), and deal four rows of four cards each, all face up, for a total of sixteen cards. This is your tableau. Next, deal four piles of three cards each, all face up and with the cards fanned. This is your reserve. WINNING Build eight foundations in total, four ascending by suit from ace to queen, skipping every second card (A, 3, 5, 7, 9, J, K, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Q), four ascending by suit from 2 to king, also skipping every second card (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Q, A, 3, 5, 7, 9, J, K). HOW TO PLAY Move aces and 2s to the foundations as they become available. Use tableau cards only to build directly on the foundations. In Royal Cotillion, you may not build on the tableau, ever.
