Fortune's Favor


Fortune's Favor is a solitaire card game which is played with a deck of 52 playing cards. It is so-called probably because the chances of winning are completely on the player's side.
First, the four aces are removed from the deck and placed in a row to form the bases of the foundations. These foundations are built up by suit to kings.
Below the foundations, two rows of six cards each are dealt. These form the bases of the twelve tableau piles. The top cards on the tableau piles are available for building on the foundations and on the tableau. Building in the tableau is down by suit and spaces which result in moving a card are filled from the wastepile or, if there is none, the stock. Only one card can be moved at a time.
The stock, when play comes to a standstill, is dealt one card at a time onto a wastepile, the top card of which is available for play on the tableau or foundations.
The game is won when all cards are built onto the foundations.
