FOSTER'S RUSSIAN BANK

Now turn these 32 cards face down, and leave them on the table until you have sorted out the blue pack.

From the blue pack sort out the following 24 cards, laying them on the table, face up, just as you did with the red pack, the heart six being the bottom card of the first pile.

  • ♡: 6 Q K 9
  • ♧: J Q 3 10
  • ♢: 5 2 K 8 9 A 4 3 J
  • ♤: K 4 9 6 Q 2 10

With these four piles in front of you take off the top cards from each pile, beginning with the spade ten, so as to make a single pile of them all face up.

♤10, ♡9, ♧10, ♢J, ♢3, ♤2, ♢4, ♢A, ♢9, ♤Q, ♢8, ♡K, ♢K, ♢2, ♢5, ♤6, ♧3, ♤9, ♧Q, ♤4, ♤K, ♡Q, ♧J, ♡6.
