Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

Cards are dealt face-up in seven piles of ascending length. An additional card is dealt to a foundation. This card determines the base rank of the foundations.

Cards in the Tableau are built down by same color. Groups of cards in sequence and same color can be moved as a unit.

Each deal flips one card from the Stock to each pile of the Tableau. There are no redeals.

Foundations are built up in suit in sequence, wrapping from King to Ace when necessary. Cards in Foundations are still in play. Double select a card in the Tableau will move it to the appropriate Foundation pile if such a move is possible.

Playing tips

Try to build down in suit whenever possible. Try to score as many points as you can as this game is very hard to win.
