Twelve starters define the board
For each suit, one Ace begins the ordinary ascending foundation, a second Ace begins the odd-rank foundation, and one Two begins the even-rank foundation. Four empty King spots complete the target layout.

Place all 104 cards across the King, ascending, odd-rank, and even-rank suited foundations.

How to play
Place all 104 cards across the King, ascending, odd-rank, and even-rank suited foundations.
- Begin with sixteen reserve cards plus preset Ace and Two foundation starters, then expose one waste card.
- Move an exposed reserve or waste card to its matching-suit foundation when it is the next rank required by that foundation's pattern.
- A cleared reserve refills from waste before stock; draw through the stock once and complete every pattern.
Strategy tips
- Separate ordinary Ace-to-King, odd-rank, even-rank, and single-King targets before choosing a destination.
- Clearing a reserve changes its exposed card immediately, so inspect both the move and likely refill.
- There is no redeal; do not draw over a waste card that already has a legal foundation.
Complete guide
Rules, scoring, and strategy
Royal Rendezvous sorts two decks through sixteen exposed, auto-refilled reserves and one waste. Its same-suit targets use four patterns at once: one King, a full Ace-to-King run, odd ranks, and even ranks for every suit.
Four suited patterns accept exact ranks
Ordinary piles rise A through K; odd piles take A-3-5-7-9-J; even piles take 2-4-6-8-10-Q; and each King spot accepts its suit's King only. Every card has one specific pattern position.
Reserves refill through the waste
Moving a reserve card fills its slot from the waste top when available, otherwise from stock. This exposes a replacement without a separate choice and can reveal a useful card that had been covered on waste.
The stock has one pass
Drawing adds a card to the waste and no redeal is available. Before covering the waste top, check all four foundation patterns and consider whether clearing a reserve can pull that card into view.
Questions players ask
How many reserve slots are used?
Sixteen exposed reserve slots surround the foundation patterns.
Do the odd and even piles require suits?
Yes. Every foundation pattern is built within its matching suit.
Can the waste be recycled?
No. Royal Rendezvous uses a single stock pass.
