PySol - Rules for King's Audience

# King's Audience

One-Deck game type. 1 deck. No redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

Sixteen cards are dealt in a square, forming a tableau called the "antechamber". No building on these tableau piles is allowed.

There are two rows of foundations. Each foundation in the top row just receives a King and Queen of the same suit, both of which must be played together when both cards are available (in PySol, move one appropriate card to the other in the tableau, and they will both automatically be moved to the correct foundation). The bottom row of foundations is started with an ace and Jack of the same suit, played in a similar manner, but with the Jack on top. Then, they're built down by same suit from Jack to two.

Empty piles in the antechamber are filled from the waste pile, or the talon if the waste is empty. Cards can be dealt from the talon one at a time to the waste pile - no redeal is allowed. The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.

### Notes

The name of the game comes from the fact that the lower foundation cards - the Jacks with their entourages - end up adjacent to the Kings and Queens as if having an audience with them.

The game also goes by the name Queen's Foundation. In some variations, depending on which name is used, either the King or Queen is placed on top in the king-queen foundations.
