PySol - Rules for Love a Duck

# Love a Duck

Yukon type. 1 deck. No redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Rules

The tableau piles are built in a pyramid-esque layout, with eleven cards in the top layer, ten cards in the middle, and nine on the bottom. The remaining cards are dealt out to the top layer. Each card forms a tableau pile which can be built down by alternate color, but cards can be moved regardless of sequence. The bottom layer cards can be filled with a king when empty, but the remaining layers cannot be filled.

Though all cards are dealt face-up, cards in the lower layers cannot be moved until the cards on top of them are moved. However, if the only card or sequence overlapping a card can legally be played on it, that sequence can be moved down in a dropdown move.

Foundations are built up in suit from Ace to King. The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.

### Notes

Love a Duck was invented by Jan Wolter, and first appeared in his app Politaire. The name came from "Lord Love a Duck", an expression of surprise from early 1900s London.
