Queen of Italy

After leaving a space below the terrace for the foundations, the player lays four cards in a row.

The player builds the foundations in alternating colours, wrapping from King to Ace if necessary.

The player wins the game when all cards end up in the foundations—and loses whenblocked after dealing the entire stock.

Since this is an old and classic game, several common variations exist, including Blondes and Brunettes, Redheads, and Falling Star, and General's Patience.

General's Patience requires the foundations to be built up by suit rather than alternate colours.
