Narpati
Mughal Ganjifa type. One deck. No redeals.
Object
Move all cards to the foundations.
Quick description
Play is similar to
Klondike.
The rows build down by rank in "alternate" colors.
Rules
The cards on the tableau build down by rank in alternate colors.
The foundations build up in rank by suit starting with the Ace.
Only the Mirs (Kings) may be played on an empty row. The Mughal
Ganjifa deck has eight suits and each suit has it's own color.
This makes it a bit of a challenge at times to know what colors
are the "alternates". If a card doesn't play one place, try
a different card of the same rank. Cards are dealt from the talon
three at a time. There are no redeals. Cards may be played from
the foundations.
This game is one of a series of games that have names ending in "pati"
which transliterates as "lord of". Narpati means "Lord of Men".
The names are the names of the suits in a twelve suit Ganjifa deck.
Strategy
Uncover the deepest row stacks first. Move cards around on the
tableau to open spots for cards from the waste stack.
