Duchess

Duchess is a 1-player card game for the Apple II.

Duchess is played with a standard 52 card deck. The first 12 cards are dealt, face up and overlapping, forming the four reserve piles. The exposed cards on each pile is available for play or the tableau piles.

The other three cards of the same rank as the first foundation card will be played automatically to their respect foundation as they become available.
