Round the corner, Jokers wild or not
Putt Putt
One deck
Jokers: Off · On
Goal: clear all seven tableau columns onto the foundation.
- Play the top card of any column onto the foundation if it is one rank up or down from the foundation's top card (no suit restriction).
- Rank wraps: an Ace and a King are adjacent, so either can follow the other.
- With Jokers on, the two Jokers are wild: a Joker plays on any card, and any card plays on a Joker.
- Draw the stock onto the foundation to keep going (one pass only — no recycling).
- Stuck with no legal move and an empty stock? The game is lost.
- Your score is the number of cards left in the tableau, lower is better. Clear the tableau and each card left in the stock takes one off.
