From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A game of Bear River. The "starter" card happens to be a 2.

Bear River is a solitaire game where the object is to get all the cards from the tableau to the foundation.

Setup[edit]

8 Tableau piles arranged in three rows of six piles each. All cards are dealt face up and fanned, such that all cards are visible. The first five piles of each row start with three cards each. The sixth pile of each row starts with two cards each.

The final remaining card begins the first of four foundation piles.

(Tip: If you are dealing this game, hold the deck face up in your palm for easy fanning of the cards.)
