Rules
Josephine is played with two decks of 52 cards each.
After shuffling, a tableau of ten fanned piles of four cards each is laid from left to right.
The remaining cards form the stock. The eight foundations (light rectangles in the top of the screen) are built up by suit from Ace to King, and the tableau piles can be built down in suit. A top card from any tableau pile can be moved to another tableau pile or to the foundation. Any empty piles can be filled with any card. Cards of the same suit built down can be moved as a unit between tableau piles.
The aim of the game is to build up eight stacks of cards starting with Ace and ending with King, all of the same suit, on one of the eight foundations, at which time the player would have won.
The player may take one card at a time from the stock and play to the tableau, the foundations, or to the wastepile.
The player may use the top card from the wastepile.
The player may only go through the stock once.
