The deal

All eight Aces begin on foundations. Three rows of thirteen face-up cards make thirteen tableau columns; the remaining cards form the stock.

Playing the tableau

Build down by suit using single cards. Any single card may enter an empty column. Turn stock cards to waste and build each suit foundation up to King.

Lucas is part of Grand Plaza · Forty Thieves & two-deck builders and is a variant of Napoleon at St Helena. The Aces are preplaced and thirteen columns offer more working space.
