PySol - Rules for Vamana

# Vamana

Dashavatara Ganjifa type. One deck. Unlimited redeals.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Quick description

Play is similar to Klondike. The rows build down by rank in "alternate" colors.

### Rules

The cards on the tableau build down in rank in alternate colors. The Dashavatara Ganjifa deck has ten suits and each suit has it's own color. This makes it a bit problematic at times knowing which colors are alternate. If a card of one suit doesn't play in a spot, try a different card of the same rank. The foundations build up in rank by suit starting with the Ace. The cards are dealt from the talon three at a time. There are unlimited redeals. Only Mirs (Kings) may be played on an empty row. Cards may not be played from the foundations.

### Strategy

The waste stack will be the biggest problem area. Move cards on the tableau to free up spots for cards on the waste stack.
