PySol - Rules for Ricochet

# Ricochet

Golf type. 1 deck. No redeal.

### Object

Remove all cards from the tableau.

### Rules

The tableau piles are built in four pyramid-esque "walls", with each wall having four cards in the top layer, three in the middle, and two in the bottom. One wall is facing in each direction, and the cards on the edge of the top layer are shared between the adjoining walls. The tableau and foundation are placed in the center of the four walls.

Cards can be dealt from the tableau one at a time. Exposed cards from the walls can be moved from the tableau if they are one rank higher or lower than the card currently on the foundation. Turning the corner is allowed, so kings can be played on aces, and vice versa. After a card is played, the next card cannot be played from the same wall. The cards in the corners are treated as part of both walls they overlap.

The game is won if all cards are removed from the tableau.

### Notes

Ricochet was invented by Bram Tebbutt.
