How to play
Discard all fifty-two cards as thirteen four-of-a-kind groups assembled across the cells.
- Four cells and six tableau piles each receive one card, forty-two cards remain in stock, and any four equal opening cell cards are discarded immediately.
- Move an exposed tableau card into an empty cell; four equal cell ranks discard automatically. Single tableau cards may build one rank up or down on the opposite color, including Ace-King wrap, and any card may enter an empty pile. Deal one row only when no cell or tableau transfer remains.
- Discard all fifty-two cards as thirteen four-of-a-kind groups assembled across the cells.
Strategy tips
- Use tableau transfers to expose companions of ranks already held in cells, and avoid occupying several cells with unrelated ranks that cannot be completed soon.
- Direct pair removal is not part of Foursome, and dealing while any legal transfer exists is forbidden even if that move looks strategically weak.
- With few stock rows left, dedicate the four cells to one rank at a time and use empty tableau piles to uncover its final copy.
