How to play:
The game is played with two decks of playing cards. To start off with 13 cards are got from the top of the pile and put together to form a pile named "The Frog". The 13 cards are put in 1 pile face up. Any aces which are in "The Frog" are placed on the foundation pile for each column.
The game begins by the user turning over the next card from the deck. The card is then either placed on a foundation pile or on a waste heap. In total there are 8 foundation piles and 5 waste heaps. The card is positioned on the foundation pile in the following order -
A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K. So if an Ace is turned over this can go onto a new foundation pile. If a 2 is turned over then this can go onto a foundation pile if there is an Ace already on a foundation otherwise it has to go onto a waste heap.
The top card from the waste heap and the frog is available to place on a foundation card if possible. For example if the top cards of the 5 waste heaps are 4, 5, 8, 3, 6 and the foundation piles display A, 5, 7 then the player can move the 8 onto the 7.
The player turns over all cards from the deck positioning them on a foundation card or a waste heap pile. The game finishes when the whole deck has been turned over and there are no more possible moves from the waste heaps / frog or each foundation displays a king.
You win by making each foundation pile display a king.
