This is the classic two-deck Reserve game. It was written from the description by Hoyle, and is the standard upon which all reserve games are judged.

The reserve piles are places to set-aside a card from the table for a period of time.  Only one card can be in a reserve location at a time, so you are limited to three in this game.  Otherwise, the play is similar to a Napoleon as you can only move one card at a time.  You cannot play to the reserve directly from the Talon, only an exposed table card.
