Rule 1 - Demon Fan | |
![]() |
Demon Fan is the easiest fan game in this collection due to the generous number of re-deals allowed and a more forgiving build rule.
The tableau consists of 16 fans of 3 cards and the final 2 fans contain 2 cards. Cards are built on fans in descending sequences of alternating colours
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() |
Rule 2 - Three Shuffles and a Draw | |
![]() |
Three Shuffles and a Draw is identical to La Belle Lucie except after the final re-deal/shuffle, you're allowed to move any card that's buried near the
bottom of a fan, to the top of that fan in order to free it. This is called "The Draw" and can only be done once each game, hence the name Three Shuffles (including the first one)
and a single Draw. The tableau is slightly different to Demon Fan in that there are 17 fans of 3 cards and the final fan
contains just one card. Cards are built on fans in descending suit sequence
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() |
Rule 3 - Super Flower Garden | |
![]() |
Super Flower Garden is also similar to La Belle Lucie but is made slightly easier as you're allowed to build
cards in descending sequence regardless of suit
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Rule 4 - Shamrocks | |
![]() |
Shamrocks is quite a tricky but interesting variation on most fan games and requires a bit of luck from the deal.
The standard 17 fans of 3 cards are dealt along with a final fan of one card. When a King is dealt, it's moved to the bottom of its fan so
it doesn't block the game. Cards are built on fans in descending sequence
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Rule 5 - La Belle Lucie | |
![]() |
La Belle Lucie is quite a difficult fan game which is probably why so many easier variations have
been created. Cards are built on fans in descending suit sequence
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() |
Rule 6 - Fan | |
![]() |
These are the rules for the original Fan game that all the other fan games evolved from due to its
difficulty. The deal is the same as Demon Fan with 16 fans of 3 cards and 2 fans of 2 cards. Cards are built on fans in descending suit sequence
(e.g. 7![]() ![]() |
