Hanafuda type. 1 deck. 1 redeal.
Move all cards to the foundations.
Cards play on the four foundation stacks by rank, in ascending suit order. Cards play on the four row stacks in descending suit order. The row stacks will hold no more than three cards. Only one card can be move at a time. Any card can be played on an empty row stack, but only cards of the same rank can play on partly filled rows. There are only two passes through the talon.
Winning at Four Winds requires a bit of luck and a lot of skill at using the row stacks to the best advantage.
Hint: try to keep one row stack open.
