As described in Louis Hoffmann's book The Illustrated Book of Patience Games (1892), Nestor is played as follows:[3]
Several variations exist.[4] One alternative rule in this game is after the eight columns are dealt, the reserve cards are placed as one overlapping row and the top card is the only one available for play.
In the variant Vertical, seven columns of six cards each are dealt, with a reserve of 10 cards. With fewer buried cards, this increases the odds of winning.
In the variant Doublets, twelve columns of four cards each are dealt, with a reserve of four cards.
