    Quick description
    Play is similar to     Picture Gallery.
    Object
    Arrange the cards in order on the tableaux.
    Rules
    The layout consists of a tableaux of three rows, a row for newly dealt cards and the talon. The sevens, eights and nines of all five suits are not used in this game, only the Ace through six and the six courts. Cards are arranged by suit in an increment of nine.

    The cards must be arranged on the tableaux as follows:

    If you clear a space at the bottom it will be automatically filled with a card from the talon. Play is only between the tableaux stacks and from the rows to the tableaux. When no further moves are possible, click on the talon for a fresh row of cards at the bottom.

    Auto drop is disabled until the talon is empty. You win when all of the cards are arranged in order.
    Strategy
    If the deal does not place at least one Ace or pip card in it's proper place and it's matching court card somewhere on the tableaux, the battle can not be won. Defeat can also be snatched from the jaws by committing reserves (clicking the talon) prematurely (at all).

    4 Pinochle same suit foundations, base rank 13
    4 reserves, base rank any
    12 SuperMove same suit rows, base rank any

    Rules
    This is     Fan with the Pinochle deck. One card moves at a time, foundation cards remain in play.
    Notes
    Makes an interesting variation.
  15. Pinochle Fan I:


    16. Tableaux
    4 Pinochle same suit foundations, base rank 13

    10 Dikapala rows, base rank any
    15 Dikapala tableaux
    Deal row talon, no redeals
    Object
    Arrange the tableaux cards in order.
    Rules
    Play is similar to     Picture Gallery. The tableaux is the three rows of five stacks at the upper left, the three rows of two stacks on the right are free cells and the two rows of five stacks at the bottom left are waste stacks for newly dealt cards.

    The rows build up in steps of three. The lowest row is Ace, 4, 7, Samuri and Shogun, the next up is 2, 5, 8, Hatamoto and Emperor and the top row is 3, 6, 9, Okugatasama and Dragon.

    Auto drop is disabled until the talon is empty. You win when all of the cards are arranged in order. The score will be doubled if the reserves are not used.
    Strategy
    Solving this usually depends on setting up for the end game. Be sure to have the free cells filled before clicking the last deal.
    Notes
    A double score can be earned by not using the free cells.

    This is     The Shogunate with three decks.
    Notes
    A double score can be earned by not using the free cells.
    This is a real puzzler. It just goes on and on.

    24. Tableaux
    4 Same suit foundations, base rank 1
    4 reserves, base rank any
    16 SuperMove same suit rows, base rank any

    25 SuperMove same suit rows, base rank any
    Initial deal talon, no redeals
    Object
    Move all cards to the foundations.
    Rules
    This is similar to     Free Fan using the Unsun Karuta deck. Any card will play to an empty row.
    Notes
    A double score can be earned by not using the free cells.
  27. Unsun Fan II:


    28. Tableaux
    5 Same suit foundations, base rank 1

    Initial deal talon, no redeals
    Object
    Move all cards to the foundations.
    Rules
    This is     Unsun Fan without the free cells.
    Strategy
    This game presents much more of a challenge than Unsun Fan because only one card can be moved at a time. Most games can still be won however. Start by freeing the Aces, then build sequences with the highest rank card on the bottom.

    Rules
    This is     Unsun Fan with two free cells and Dragons only to an empty row.
    Strategy
    This game presents even more of a challenge than #2 since only Dragons will play to an empty row. Don't build a sequence of more than three cards on a lower rank card of the same suit. A double score is possible if the reserves are not used.
