PySol - Rules for Rainbow Fan

# Rainbow Fan

Fan game type. 2 decks. 3 redeals.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

There are eight foundations. At the start of the game, a king of each suit is placed on the bottom of four of them, and an ace on the other four. The foundations that start with a king are built down by suit, while the ones that start with an ace are built up.

The tableau consists of twenty piles of three cards, and may be built up or down by suit. When building tableau piles, sequences can turn the corner, so aces may be played on kings and vice versa. However, this cannot be done in the foundation.

If there are still cards in the talon, three cards are dealt from the talon to fill in empty tableau piles. Once the talon is empty, empty tableau piles can no longer be filled.

Three redeals are allowed. During each redeal, the bottom card of each tableau pile is moved to the top of that pile. The remaining cards are unmoved.

### Notes

This game is traditionally known as Rainbow - it is often renamed Rainbow Fan to avoid confusion with a Canfield variation of the same name.
