Four piles at top. One card is dealt face up in the first Foundation
50
There are 18 Tableau piles arranged in three rows of six piles each.
51
All cards are dealt face up and fanned, such that all cards are
52
visible. The first five piles of each row start with three cards each.
53
The sixth pile of each row starts with two cards each.

<sect2><title>Règlas</title>
76
One random card has already been dealt to a Foundation pile. The rank
77
of that card becomes the Base Card. The other three cards with the same
78
rank can be moved to an empty Foundation. Foundations are built up in
79
ascending order, matching suit. Cards can "wrap-around" from Queen to
80
King to Ace to Two. Cards on the Foundations may not be moved back onto
84
None of the Tableau piles can have more than three cards. The top card of
85
each Tableau pile can be moved to any other Tableau pile if it matches suit
86
and has a face value of one higher or one lower than the top card of the
87
pile it is being moved to. Cards can "wrap-around" between King and Ace.
90
There are two types of Tableau piles: "Standard" piles, and "Hole" piles.
91
The first five piles of each row (the ones with three cards) are the
92
Standard piles. An empty standard pile CANNOT have a new card placed on it.
93
The last pile of each row (the ones with two cards) are the Hole piles. An
94
empty Hole pile CAN have a new card placed on it.

<sect2><title>Scoring</title>
103
Each card moved to the Foundation scores one point.
106
Maximum possible score: 52
112
<sect2><title>Strategy</title>
115
Try to free up one or more Hole piles early.
118
There is never a disadvantage in moving cards to the Foundations.
119
Move as many as possible, as soon as possible.
122
Cards that have a rank one lower than the Base Card can be very difficult
123
to move. Be careful where you place them.
126
Bear River can be won about one third of the time.
