nce--K, Q, J, down to 4, 3, 2--and must alternate in color; red on black, black on red. If there be more than one card at the bottom of a row, all must be moved together or not at all. Spaces are filled with kings only. The stock is run through one card at a time and any card showing can be used, either on the layout or foundations. When the pack has been run through once that ends it. [Illustration: ANNA.] ANNA Two Entire Packs of Cards RULES I. The foundations follow suit. II. The uppermost card of each packet of the helps is alone available until its removal releases the card beneath. III. When queens appear among the helps, whether placed in the original deal or in refilling vacancies, no other cards can be laid upon them. They remain as single cards. PLAY Deal out eight cards in the shape of a capital A: these are called helps. Whenever in the course of the deal knaves turn up, they are to be placed so as to form the letter N (see tableau). The eight knaves are the foundation cards, which _descend_ in sequence to kings. When the helps (letter A) have been laid out, play from them any suitable cards to continue the foundations (if any of these have been already placed), refilling the vacancies from the pack or talon. You next proceed to form marriages in _ascending_ line with cards of the helps, except in the case of queens, on which cards must not be placed (Rules II and III). When no other cards can be played or married, proceed to deal out the entire pack, playing the knaves and other suitable cards forming marriages with cards in the helps, refilling vacancies and placing unsuitable cards as a talon. If the game succeeds, the final tableau shows the letter A composed of queens, and the letter N of kings, with which the foundation cards terminate. The talon may be re-dealt twice.
