Various Matriarchy down rows

Object

Rules
The object of these games is to build sequences until all the cards are used up. Top rank cards are played on the empty spaces in the top row when dealt from the talon. Then cards are played on them in ascending order, starting with Ace, following suit. The second from top rank cards are sorted in the talon and placed on the lower row. Additional cards are played on them in descending order, following suit. For each row completed, (that is, having one card of each value) another redeal is added. Cards may be moved from one pile to another, following the rules. The first time through the talon, the cards are dealt two at a time. The second time, it is three cards, and so on up to one less than tthe number of cards per suit. At that point, if any ranks are completed, bonus redeals start at two less than the number of ranks, then three less, and so on. You win if the talon and the waste are both emptied.

The strict variations require that no more than one complete set of ranks be placed on the adjacent up and down rows.

The relaxed variations require that no more than one set of ranks be placed on the rows and also start with the top rank cards shuffled to the top and dealt to the rows. Also, the number of cards dealt increases and decreases by two per redeal rather than one.

The double variations play like the relaxed versions with four decks.
