t, and played exactly as before. If necessary, there
may be two re-deals.

THE MILL
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
I. All cards in the wings are available.
II. The five foundations do not follow suit.
PLAY
Take from the pack one ace and place it in the centre before you; next
deal out eight cards, grouping them round the ace to represent the
wings of a windmill. The _first four kings_ that appear in dealing are
to be played in the four angles (see tableau). These, with the centre
ace, form the five foundation cards. Each of the four kings is to
descend in sequence to ace, while upon the centre ace four entire
families are to be piled in sequences (Rule II).
Having placed the centre ace and the wings, take from the latter any
kings for the foundations, or other suitable cards to play on them, or
on the centre ace, filling up the spaces so made from the cards in your
hand. Then proceed to deal out the remaining cards, turning them one by
one, playing all whose value admit of it on the foundations. The cards
that cannot be so used are placed aside in one packet, forming the
talon.
_Note._--The four families on the centre ace each begin with ace and
end with king.
It is better to play cards from the talon rather than from the wings.
Vacancies in the wings must be _immediately_ refilled from the pack or
talon.
In forming the foundations, the uppermost card of either of the king
packets may be transferred, if suitable, to the ace packet; but this
privilege is limited to _one_ card of each at a time, and may only be
resorted to when the playing of that card would bring into immediate
use any other available card of the wings or of the talon.
There is no re-deal.

THE SHAH
Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
I. During the deal cards in each circle of the star are available until
another circle blocks them. After the deal is completed only cards in
the third (or outer) circle are available until, as usual, their
removal releases the inner circles.
II. Marriages are limited to cards in the third circle; cards in the
inner circles, even when released, can only be played, but not married.
III. The foundations must follow suit.
PLAY
Take from the pack the eight aces and the eight kings. Throw aside
seven of the kings and place the remaining one in the centre, with the
eight aces surrounding it i
