HOW TO DEAL Start with two fifty-two-card decks (104 cards total), remove all kings, and arrange them in a single row. These are your eight foundation cards. There is no starting tableau in Jubilee; the remaining cards are your stock.It’s likely this game was invented by a patriotic Brit in honor of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887, celebrating her fifty years as monarch. Jubilee is an easy game to win. The hardest decision is how to organize your tableau.
Hint: Put all your queens into a single pile.

WINNING Build each foundation pile by suit in the following order: K, A, J, 2, 10, 3, 9, 4, 8, 5, 7, 6, Q.
HOW TO PLAY The stock starts with ninety-six cards. Turn these up one at a time and play them either to the foundations or to one of four tableau piles (the game starts with four empty tableau piles). The topmost tableau cards may always be played. There is no other building in Jubilee.
You are allowed one redeal once the original stock is exhausted. Gather the tableau piles (starting with the rightmost) and place one atop the other. Turn them over (do not shuffle) and continue dealing as before.
