Ace of Hearts

Goal

Move all cards to the single foundation.

How to play

Cards are dealt to seven piles, with an ascending number of cards in each pile (1 in the first, 2 in the second, etc.), all face-up.

Build the tableau piles down by same suit. Any group of cards can be moved, regardless of sequence. Only a king or a group of cards starting with a king can be moved to an empty pile. When there are no moves left, you can deal a card from the talon to each pile.

The single foundation is started with the ace of hearts. After the ace of hearts is played, it is built up by rank, regardless of suit, turning the corner from king to ace as needed. The game is won if all cards are moved to this one foundation.
