- <para>
- Play begins by dealing four cards to the Reserve. If possible, play
- cards on to the Foundation from the Reserve. Continue this process
- until no cards are left in stock and no more moves on to Foundation
- can be made. A similar game that is a bit easier is Scuffle.

- Do you believe in Luck? Although this game takes more skill to play
- than Clock, the skill involved entails paying attention. A great
- game for brainless play.
