Most of the flower card solitaire games are played like western deck games
with minor changes. See the <a href="general_rules.html">General Rules</a> for
basic instructions on how to play solitaire. The object in most cases is to
move all the cards from the tableau to the foundations. Probably the most
difficult part of learning to play with hanafuda cards is learning which cards
belong in which suits and what their ranking is. The ranking of the suits is
sometimes as important as the ranking of the cards in the suit. Try keeping

<p>
In a hanafuda deck, the suits have their own ranking, arranged by the month they
represent, and in many games, the order of the suits plays an important role.
The order of the suits is as follows:
<ul>
<li>Pine - January</li>
<li>Plum - February</li>
<li>Cherry - March</li>
<li>Wisteria - April</li>
<li>Iris - May</li>
<li>Peony - June</li>
<li>Bush Clover - July</li>
<li>Eularia - August</li>
<li>Chrysanthemum - September</li>
<li>Maple - October</li>
<li>Willow - November</li>
<li>Paulownia - December</li>
</ul>
</p>

Probably the most difficult part of learning to play with hanafuda cards is
learning which cards belong in which suits and what their ranking is. The ranking of
the suits is sometimes as important as the ranking of the cards in the suit. As
you are learning, try keeping this hanafuda help image displayed where you can
refer to it as you play.</p>
