Bear River is part of the Solitaire Suite For Second Life created by Paso Clip and produced by Moo Town Games. It was introduced into the suite as part of version 4.0.

Bear River is a unique and challenging game. The large number of starting piles allows for a great deal of flexibility, however, the limit of 3 cards per pile means you must take great care not to get stuck.

There is no stock in Bear River.

• Move all the cards to the foundations.
  

Foundations

• The base card (the first foundation) for this game will vary and be placed at the start of the game. This does count as 1 card for scoring purposes.
  
  
• Build up in suit from Ace to King (for example, a 2 of Hearts can be played on an Ace of Hearts) from the base card to rank just below the base card until each pile contains 13 cards.
  
  
• Ranking of cards is continuous: build Ace after King when necessary.
  

Tableau

• Build down by rank and by suit. (for example, a 10 of Spade can only be played on a Jack of Spade).
  
  
• The top card of each pile is available for play on another tableau pile or on the foundations.
  
  
• Ranking of cards is continuous: build Ace after King when necessary.
  
  
• Spaces may not be filled.
  
  
• Maximum of 3 cards per pile.

Hole (Bottom 3 Spaces)

• Start with 2 cards instead of 3.
  
  
• Hole spaces work exactly the same as tableau spaces except that when empty these spaces may be filed by any card. But remember they still have a maximum of 3 cards per space.
