Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Four cards are dealt to four tableau piles, and 13 cards are dealt to a reserve. The aces are dealt to four foundation piles.

The tableau piles are built down by same suit. Single cards can be moved between tableau piles, or cards from the reserve can be moved to a tableau pile. Empty tableau piles are immediately filled from the reserve. Foundations are built up by same suit from ace to king.

Cards can be dealt from the talon one at a time. These cards can be moved to a tableau or foundation pile. You are allowed one redeal, so you can go through the stock twice.

The game is won when all cards are moved to the foundations.
