About the game
Corona is a relatively long and difficult patience or card solitaire using two decks. The object of the game is to move all of the cards to the foundations. Successfully winning the game is considered difficult.
Play is much like that in the popular family of games based on Napoleon at St Helena, but with a tableau of 12 piles instead of 10. Corona is nearly identical to the variant of Limited, with the exception of an additional restriction that the deck is used to refill empty piles rather than letting the player fill them as desired.More from KOSMOS
